I have another piece I picked up at a thrift store just because it was pretty. I have done some searching in hopes of finding something similar but have come up empty. The glass bow is not marked but the metal frame is. It is stamped KEYSTONWEAR CHROME PLATED. The bowl stands at 3 3/4" tall, the base is 3 1/3" diameter, the top is 6" diameter. The chrome frame is 7" tall and 7" wide. Thanks for any input.

These glasses screamed at me from a shelf in a charity shop. I looked at them and put them down. When I saw them two weeks later they threw an absolute tantrum until I took them home.
I can not find anything like them but I feel they came from a larger family somewhere, maybe with a pitcher for a mother and a bucket for a dad. Would like to find their "real" family, but for now happy to foster 2 screaming orphans.
A little over 4" tall and 3.25 across.

Hi all,
A nice pair of Art deco pressed glass candlesticks.
About 6" tall, heavy and with four prominent seams on each.
Their base is very unusual, flat with its impressed pattern.
I also notice there's an acid etched circle on each, which I think reads "APPLIED FOR * REGN"
I'd love to know who made them if anyone knows or any opinions always welcome.
Thank you

PLEASE, Help Save the Glass Post #6
I found another box full in the basement.
Amber/Rose/? colored pitcher is 8" tall & 8-1/2" from outside edge of spout to outside edge of handle.
Clear pitcher is 9-1/4" at tallest point & base is 3-1/4" across.
Any information on identification and date is appreciated.

My mother purchased these 2 pieces last weekend and would like to know what pattern they are. She has several Heisey books but cannot find anything that looks like them in any of the books. The covered dish has the Heisey diamond in the center of the bottom and the handled dish has the Heisey diamond on both sides of the handle. Any help is greatly appreciated.

These dishes were my mom's they are from the 1970's and were sold as being unbreakable. Just found these down the cellar and cleaned them up. She also had a green set, that I haven't found yet, but when I do I will show them

I thought these looked a lot like the ones DrFluffy recently posted so I figured I would post these.
They look vintage based on the condition of the tops but I have never found a match on the pattern. The green is a bit lighter than normal but it does have the glow look of uranium glass.
They are 5" tall. Looks like something a restaurant would have.

Found at GW I am not usually into the white glass but this one looks so artistic I had to buy it. It is very heavy and measures 8 1/2 inches long and 5 inches high. The points seem sharp and the cuts are deeply carved. Does anybody know what this is? flower pot -cut glass, pattern glass etc...thanks!!

This item is probably not vintage. I believe it was made by LE Smith. It is 4 1/2" long and one plastic Easter Egg fits inside it. Looks like I have a bit more research to do. It does fit in well with my other decorations.

Actually I believe it was still just Hocking Glass at this point as this pattern was made from 1935-1938. These small bowls are 6 1/2" wide and 1 1/4" high. A large portion of the width is the lacy trim. The official name for this pattern is Old Colony but is often called Open Lace.
I have 3 of these bowls with a 10" dinner plate to show scale. That and a ruler.

I can't find info on this exact model. Got it at an estate sale today for $3. I don't smoke, just found it interesting. The dish is either glass or crystal. I'm guessing bronze on the pedestal. There is a marble piece between the pedestal and base. I have found similar items online, but not this particular one. I am curious about the date more than anything.

EAPG fluted iridescent two piece 10 inch diameter 5 inch high bowl with flowering tree pattern. Separate 4 in high base. From my research I think it might be Fenton Orange Tree or Flower and Apple Tree Pattern. No idea of period it was probably made. I would appreciate knowing manufacturer, name of pattern and time of manufacture.

This little glass is 4&3/4 inches at its tallest point. I can't even conclude it was used for drinking from. The twisted stem is hollow. The "pipette" does not allow flow through to the glass. It's plugged just below the lower gold ring.

3 & 3/4" inside, 5&3/4 inches outer. It is marked, Patent applied for. Made in England.
I have a few thoughts on what it might be used for but I could never say for certain. It's in perfect condition as though someone cared for it prior to my buying it in a thrift shop a few days ago for 99 cents.
Thanks for looking.

One of those pieces you'd never think would glow !
But makes me wonder ? What exactly was grandma into ! ? Really !
Actually paid way to much for this ! But i had to have it ! & I know I'd never find one at the 2nd. hand.

A pair of twin head amber brown glass candlesticks, maker unknown, date unknown. If you were to turn them upside you would have a hollow desert bowl.

They are pressed glass not sure what style they fit it, depends on your point of view. 11cm tall. For a Dressing table perhaps. So whats the age, who made them please if you know. I don't believe they are Fenton because that's usually carnival glass.

What a coincidence ! I'm posting this for DrFluffy after seeing her measuring cup post. This has been in the cupboard and moved so many times over the years. I think it was a flea market find from the 70's. There is one small chip to the corner of one of the feet. It has the original A & J beater with it which has a Pat. mark of 1923.The cup has Pat. marks as well but no maker mark. Maybe Hazel Atlas ?? It works really well and a lot handier than plugging in an electric mixer. The gearing make the beaters spin very fast with minimal effort. Very ingenious ! -Mike-

This Vaseline glass bottle is 9" tall including the stopper. 7 1/2" without the stopper. The stopper is ceramic and covered with cork where it goes into the bottle. It does seem to have some age to it.
Other than that I have no information on it.

Hi all, I saw these pink glasses and had to have them because of how thin they are, im not sure if eggshell is the proper term to use but when measured with my digital calipers they are only .050 thick...
im sorry for the quality of the pictures i need to get a real camera,thank you for viewing!

8" w. X 6 1/2" h.
Large urn , Flowers and scrolls
Another favorite
My grandmother left it to me
I love it displayed with my other collection
It's s nice piece
I'm lucky to have it
I'm glad I csn share it with others
I'm love the coler
Is that enough more or should I keep listing a 100 reasons more of what I like about this nice piece of vintage depression glass bolw
Well Giv it a shot. ?¿?

Just sharing some solos as they don't show what it's all about in grouping display and had some fun toying around for the camera.
I've yet to see another set in the green glo-glass See some pink but not as a set. Like this. Candle hldrs.....

Waiting for Silvia's posts ,I can't hold myself back from posting another piece of rosaline glass.
The compote is Niemen's production from 1920/1930s.
It's beautifully sparkling and shining ,but i'm afraid wasn't able to show it.

This is another sample of rosalin pressed glass.It comes from another famous glassworks Zabkowice,Poland.The manucactory has been working since 1884 till now changing its names,owners and type of glass production.
I feel free to claim its products are in almost each of Polish houses.
This model is presented in the catalogue from 1910,under 283 no.
Perhaps it was produced a bit later but not later than 1935,when the glassworks closed for c.5 years because of depression.

Got a set of these items in Italy in 1994 wondering what they are and where they come from. Very unusual. Flask is about 12 inches high, 5 inches wide, 2 1/2 thick and the top handle and spout are made of some kind of metal. There is some kind of family crest on the front crown over lions and wine glass. No markings on glass anywhere!

Hello I don't usually buy these kind of bowls but this one seemed very nice and very well looked after despite the age of it, I am not sure how old or who made it, so hoping someone knows on here please. It seems like very old glass
Thanks

Hello I am not sure what this is for ? Maybe salt I also thought it was just plated silver but it's not marked and not attracted to a magnet , I am hoping maybe it's real because the glass is cut I think and it look like something 18th century to me.
Thanks

Hello I don't normally buy this kind of glass but today was a good day and I could nt resist this lovely bowl, I would be very grateful to find out more about it and maybe the maker,is this depression glass ?
8 1/2 x 2 1/2

My new quest for today...
Try to find out what this dish is, who made it, and approx. age, and anything else I can possibly learn about it. I am no expert on glass items and personally only really collect signed Chalet pieces.
This is again coming from my Mother's estate and has been packed away for a few years, it is a little dirty, should of washed it before I took the pics Lol
It weighs approx. 2.9lbs so is quite heavy, the diameter is 6 1/2 across the top and it stands 7" high with the lid on it, 3 1/8" high without the lid.
It is footed.
The bottom has the number 15 on it, but that has not helped me much in my search.
I think you call this pattern a ribbed pattern and it appears to be a molded piece but even that I really don't know.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

While living in Europe in the early 1980's, we picked up some German cut crystal. This decanter and 6 champagne flutes were made in Germany by Nachtmann as part of their Traube collection. What I love most about this décor, is the variety of colors and the combination of the frosted and brilliant cuts. The decanter and flutes stand 11" and the 8" tall respectively. Thank you for looking.

I bought this at an antique store for $18. It has the signature H within the diamond, but I cannot find this pattern in any of my research. It's lovely, and I hope some day to be able to find out what pattern this is!

I purchased this glass vase a long time ago and was just wondering if anyone could tell me who the maker might be. Does it look like blenko? It is 12 inch tall and 6 1/2 inch across top. It has a twist from the bottom to half way up vase, can't see twist to good. It is a cranberry, rose color with a clear bottom. It doesn't weigh heavy like murano. Any guesses. Thanks

This beautiful thick green glassware has three separate sections.
It measures 10 1/2 inches long by 6 1/2 inches tall and 4 1/2 inches wide.
I have had it for 25 plus years. I bought it from a woman at El Cajon swap meet in California approximately in 1988-89.
I really don't know it's description or what to call it.
When I bought it the woman almost didn't want to sell it, but I paid $20 and she asked I would promise to take good care of it and I have.

I found a “sister” to the bowl I listed some time ago:http://www.collectorsweekly.com/stories/86239-cut-glass
The size is identical but the pattern of the cut is different. There is a bit of wear on the metal base but the bowl is in mint condition.

Showing my Favorite Empoli Decanter. It's from the '70s, with a plastic stopper on glass. It's not that valuable, more of a niche item. I like the Inverted Diamond Point pattern, and the green color. It looks good, just sitting around. I call it my Genie Bottle, shades of "I Dream of Jeannie", I can hear the theme music now....lol

This small milk jug I think is vaseline glass (well it glows well under blacklight )
It's moulded with raised daisies? in Amber colour ..
The top rim & top of handle & the bottom glow but between is clear glass..
The base is marked as pics ,a sort of long neck creature
A flower type embossed centre
& a registration mark triangle , who if I'm right says this was made on 24th May 1880. ....
Made by -SOWERBY & CO. England.
The moulded mark was used between 1876 & 1930
The firm ran from 1872 - 1956..
50p bargain .
This little jug made it through 2 world wars and is still in excellent condition..
Hope you like it :-)

These are a very rare art deco pressed glass rests. They are very heavy (100 grams each one) and cut finished thus they are made of lead crystal. They are 10 cm long and 2.5 cm wide. I think that were done here in Argentina, the production of pressed glass was prosperous and there are lot of Argentinean carnival glass all over the world. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carnival_glass . They were done for the serving maitre of table to salt and pepper the food following the indications of the client. You know the proficiency of the clerks in Buenos Aires restaurants are excellent, they make you feel a king and till now it is that way. I was in restaurant near the Congress having lunch two days ago and a woman near me has asked for a salad. The maitre gave her the acetto and the olive oil, she poured them over and order him to take it away and revolved it far away, my elder son that was with me could not believe that. You can read and see some pics here, http://306lugares.blogspot.com.ar/2012/12/la-gran-taberna.html .

Oh - it is missing it other half, but still a Super item and Glow. Has like a lace design on it. Not sure if the top is sterling Silver or not -- may be

Any ideas?

Thanks, and Thanks for looking !!

I purchased this approximately 40 years ago for $6.00. It still has the label on it from the antique store where I purchased it. According to the label it is a Thumbprint Samovar Jar. It is about 8" tall without the top and about 10" with the top. It is about 5 1/2 inches across at it broadest point. When I research Samovar Jars I do not find anything that resembles what I have. My questions are two fold; is it truly a samovar jar (and if not, what is it), and what is its current value. I appreciate your expertise.

I haven't been able to pin down the maker. The lined indention's on the inside of the bowl start in the middle but stop short of the outer rim. The similar ones I have seen are opposite. One from Northwood looks almost the same, but has many more lines than this. Welcoming opinions.

Just finished Executing this Glo-Glass Necklace
and Daisy Vaseline glass Jewel
w/ matching Vaseline glass jewel
/Ring the jewels are vintage ca. 1892
I know this cuz they came out of a jeweled glass window at the landing in the stairwell, that a stupid painter broke out w/ his ladder ! :( so I saved them all and 1892 is how old the mansion was that we lived in. In upstate NY. :...: """

Found this very pretty unusual handled nappy? I'm not sure but I liked it. I found it in excellent condition at an estate sale here in Sun City, Arizona. Lots of great things, but I didn't have alot of money that day. Anyone know the name of the pattern?

Here is Nostalgia glasses from 70's.
Designer Erkkitapio Siiroinen from Riihimäen Lasi Co.
Only made from clear glass. Bigger is 12cm tall and smaller is 10cm.
Series has also large fruit bowl and dessert bowls.
Thanks for watching;)

This is one of my favourites.Typical and characteristic for Deco era for its colour (rosaline),design (geometric form) and a pattern (fruit) very popular at that time,frequently frosted.
It's attributed to Salomon Reich glassworks Karolinina( also Karolinka,Charlottenhutte),1934.
Hope,you like it to!

Dressing set from Art Deco era.It was produced in Niemen Glassworks,Poland in 1930s.The set consists of four pieces,but I haven't captured the fourth yet.
The set is called "Venus",no 1584 in Niemen's catalogue.The colour of the bottle is slightly different.I guess it comes from another producing batch.
Thanks for looking!

This is a beautiful dish I found in the bottom of an old box covered with dust along with some pieces of U.S. Glass Co. pattern, Reveres 44 AKA Athenia. So I'm thinking it might be pretty old considering that fact. I'm not sure if it's a cake plate or what. I've looked & looked for another one like with no success. My hope is that some of you here on CW can help me out on identifying.

It has faint gilding around the rim that has been almost worn off.
It's very heavy
12 1/2" round
2" high

Thank you for looking!

Update: Part of the mystery has been solved by myself. This is a Mikasa Hampshire Gold Cut Glass Hostess Serving Platter. Still not sure of the date made.
Made in Germany

Hello this is a bowl that I had forgotten about and have had a few years, I never did find out the maker but thought it was Italian , couldn't find another so it ended up in a box till now, it's so pretty would love to find out more about it and who made it,shame it's not marked
Thanks

Another basement find from last week.
Wanted to post it the moment i brought it to the kitchen but i must confess i'm a bit lazy with translation and describing the item! I'm sorry!
I've been learning so much with you here but... oh well, just a pretty green dish with 10 cm diameter, that i would love to know more about!

We don't celebrate St. Patrick here, but since i carry His name... Happy St. Patrick's Day!

The pattern using the design of actual U.S. coins in the molds is credited to Central Glass before they joined U.S. Glass for the 1892 production, and were in production for only five months. The demand for the coin pattern was so great that USG farmed it out to several glass factories in the USG conglomerate. The pattern was said to have been to commemorate the World's Columbian Exposition, and also to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the founding of the United States Mint 1792-1892. The coins were dated 1892 featuring relief images of coins including silver dollars, half dollars, quarters, twenty cent pieces, dimes, and half dimes. Both sides of the coins were used except for the half dime as only the 1892 dated side was shown on it. Before many months passed, however, a government agent arrived telling the Central officials that they were counterfeiting and that the production of the glass must stop. A complete count was made of all the coin glass in the factory. Permission was granted to the firm to complete all sets and all orders on hand. Then the molds were destroyed.

Found this at GW last night hidden on an upper shelf. The silver caught my eye, but I was prepared to be disappointed by a plated piece. Wonder of wonders, I flipped it over and found the Sterling mark with hallmarks(last pic). Bowl is 12" across, and sits 3 1/2" high on the base. Base is 1 3/16" high and 5" in diameter at the base. There is also a #216 stamped into the base. This was obviously taken care of for a long time by someone who polished their silver regularly(there is a heavy layer of paste polish stuck in the grooves of the base. I know absolutely nothing about silver hallmarks. Can anyone give me a hand with an ID?

Hello I thought I would post this lovely dish I have had a few years, I was told it could be by f c coster, I think that's what the name was. I think it's stunning and one of my best glass finds.
Thanks

Thought I'd show my bell. Of course it's another of my Green Collection. Don't really like most bells, I liked this one because it's crystal with green, two favorite things. This only had sticker remains on it. I was going to use it in the house, but now it sits in the hutch and looks good.

Another poster started a thread asking for help in identifying his white vase. I immediately recognized it, as I'm sure many of the glass collectors on here did, as a familiar pattern, but my vase had no marks, so was glad to hear from TallCakes exactly what the pattern was and the maker and the era: "Indiana Glass made this 'Harvest' pattern for their Colony line of glass in the 1950s." What I also remembered is, or should say that I suddenly made the connection, that I had a green one exactly like it! Also no markings. I wonder now is this the same pattern, maker, era? Should be easy to find out now that I know the maker of the white one. That's what's so great about stalking CW, is that you can always every day find useful information here! Thanks for looking.

Vintage Shot Glasses Set Of Four. I found these in local shops. I love the second one with the airplanes and would like to know more about it. Isn't the one with the dogs cute...heck, they are all cute!

"Tally Ho" Fox Hunting Scene Cocktail Shaker And Glasses. This is a set by Hazel Atlas. The shaker is approx. 10 -1/2" tall with the glasses that are 3" tall. This is a matching set and they are signed. Drinks are on the house!

Hi there,
I usually like to ramble on with very long stories about strange Items I find but I will keep this story short. I recently found this beautiful nice 3-footed light green candy dish last week. It is almost clear with just a hint of green. When put on a light background it looks like greensih COKE bottle, but with a dark background it become a much more bright green. It is nice, BUT no where NEAR ny other vaseline I have seen on-line. The underside surface is a very bumpy pebbled surface and it has no sharp edges. I have YET to find an UV lamp to do the BIG TEST yet, but this piece looks so cool and retro my hopes are so. OK CW Folk I challege everybody to VOTE here! is this Vintage vaseline with Uranium OR is it just some knick knack from Ikea that costs $3.00?????? VOTE NOW!

I inherited this fruit bowl with 6 dessert bowls from my Grandmother I am trying to find out some information on them if anyone can help I would appreciate it , thank you especially the clover Mark on them !

This has been sitting an a shelf for awhile. Don't really know what it is, other than it is very pretty! It could be a vase, urn, candle holder or a serving dish!! It is 2 pieces as you can see, a top and a base. Together it is 6 1/2" tall, 6 3/8" diameter across the top, 4 5/8" across bottom. It weighs 2#8oz. It has what looks like backwards s's around the edge of the bottom. I didn't find any other markings. The bottom does have a seam, so it was made with a mold. I didn't see any seam on the top piece. The top has a rough texture on the outside and is very smooth on the inside. The bottom also feels rough. The top piece almost looks like wavy glass when looking through it. All comments welcome!!! Thank you!!!!

This is a huge milk glass vase! It is 14.5" tall and 6" in diameter at its rim. I found it, covered with spots of wall paint, spackle, and dirt, at a local thrift shop. I have rarely seen one so simple in its design, especially this big. As you see in the third photo, it has a bubble. Does that mean it was hand blown? I looked everywhere I could think of online to find one like it, with no luck. Does anyone know who made this and when? Thanks for any helpful hints!

I recently inherited 4 of these beautiful glasses from my aunt who was a avid collector of many things. They measure 5 1/4" tall and have Vaseline bowls an a darker green foot. I would like to know the age of them and the manufacturer, or if there are other pieces that might match them. Lastly are they OK to use for special occasions or should I just display them?

Found this one on my mooch too.I went to a little junk shop I know and had a good root,it cost a pound.
Lovely colour it has little bubbles in it and dimples.
Don't have a clue what it is though.
Any help would be great :)

Hi
Everyone.
I found this Carnival Candy Nut Dish Bowl, this afternood at my local Salvation, the employee told me he just put 10 minute ago in the showcase, not stay long there for sure, amazing condition, very colorful as carnival glass was, light purple and brass iridescent.
This candy dish stand, 5.25 inch tall, on a 3 inch base, was 5 inch diameter.

My 6th. David but this is the first as s Shepard boy.
He is solid. 4 1/2 lbs. 9" x 5"
I'm making a glass shelf for better display. Cept. I'm leaving the clock where it is. So this is going to be the new centerpiece. Isn't he just AWSOME !!

"The earlier versions of the hen have a smooth upper rim on the nest, and later versions (probably introduced in the 1950s or 1960s) have a “beaded” edge, somewhat similar to the beaded Candlewick pattern made by Imperial Glass. In the earlier years, only clear glass and white milkglass hens were made. Some of the white milkglass hens have an “open beaded” rim, with small gaps in between each bead. (this one is not of that vintage). Many of the early clear and milkglass hens originally came with the combs painted with red cold paint which has partially or wholly worn off.

"The “colored” hens (any color other than clear or white) seem to have phased in sometime during the mid to late 1960s, with possibly the amber and the green hens coming into production first, followed by many other colors throughout the 1970s, ’80s and into the 1990s."

I got this at a Garage Sale about a month ago, $3. It is in perfect condition with no issues whatsoever. Research suggests this piece is from the '50s or '60s. The bottom is clear formed with no markings, nothing to see there. On the top, in front of the tail, there is a 1.25" round impression that all "Indiana Glass Hen on Nest" pieces carry. Some folks may think this is a "Blem", but it is not.

Stopped by an estate sale, found this sitting on the window sill in the back porch. Since I had another, I had to have this one, it was an automatic. My collection of "Hen on Nest" type Carnival Glass includes Roosters, Hens, and a Turkey.

Hello I thought I would post this plate that I have had quite a while and have just washed it, it was still in paper I thought it was milk glass and looks very old , after washing some of the grease off I have noticed a Pyrex mark, how lucky I don't think I ve got any old Pyrex and have heard it's quite collectible , can anyone help please.
Thanks

I think this pattern is beautiful, and was purchased for my dining room table. It looks like it was made yesterday. This pattern was introduced in 1963-1663. It now rests on my coffee table, and I bought a console bowl, and vase, to match. None of my friends have anything like it. I bought them all on Ebay.

Please, Help Save the Glass Post #4.
Another one I need help identifying.
Covered Dish
Approximately 5-1/2 inches high to top of lid.
Bowl 3-3/8 inches high, 4-3/8 inches across the opening.
Any information on make & age is appreciated.
Thanks,
Dave

This is a two part piece from different companies that was sold together as a single piece. The beater was made by A&J and the bowl made by Hazel Atlas. This set was sold starting in the 1920s through the 1930s.
The bowl holds three cups and has measurement markings along the side.

I don't know anything about this vase. All I know is it is it is 33 cms high & 53 cms around the widest part of the vase.
This is a lovely vase & it is in A1 condition! I purchased this in an old outback antique shop out western NSW, Australia, approx. 15 yrs ago. The shop was having a closing down sale & had boxes of goodies under rows of tables throughout the shop. The lady that owned the shop, would have to have been 90 yrs old in the shade. She said she forgot she even had this vase. It was covered in dust sitting in the top of an old cardboard box. The box appeared to have been attacked by mice as there was all mouse droppings throughout the box of goodies. It's a good thing mice don't eat glass huh!!
The vase appears to be a white milky looking glass that has been dipped in a lime green coloured glass. The green glass has a glow to it in the sun.
Under the bottom of the vase is a pontil mark - if I was able to upload more pics of this I would.
The first pic of the vase is my vase & the other three pics are of a vase the same as mine, but a lot smaller than mine. This smaller one was sold on ebay in 2010 for $605.00 (see pics).

Hello, this is a lovely set of matching Satin Glass Vases, which have applied glass flowers and vines. I love the fact that they are satin pink as I have never had any pieces in this color. The Blue flower is also a added bonus as it looks wonderful. I am really not sure about these two, they are very different than the similar pieces I have, if anyone has any suggestions, or comments on possible maker and age, I would greatly appreciate them. Thanks for looking.

This Basket however is not Vaseline but has a Delightful Pink hue throughout the entire base, while the twisted applied glass handle is clear glass, a wonderful combination. I have to say though together they are simply fantastic looking and match well. Although it was not determined who produced the handgrip plate, I still encourage everyone to leave feedback and suggestions on maker, age etc. Thanks for looking!
Shawnl86

Hello, this is a very lovely vase. The vase itself has a lovely opal color, with a vaseline snake which wraps around it three times. The vase also features a rough pontil, I believe it is very very old. Possibly bohemian?
It glows brighter then most of my vaseline glass under a blacklight, as the entire piece glows wild! If anyone has any information regarding the maker or age, please feel free to post. Thanks for looking!
Shawnl86

Hello, I am attributing this fine little rose bowl ti Joe Walsh of England. This is an excellent example of a JIP Rimmed Rose Bowl, which I believe are scarce? at any rate they sure are lovely! This rose bowl features a striped pattern, which is complimented well by both the color and shape, I believe a terrific combination of attributes gives the piece a lot of character.

Hello, I really have no idea about a maker for this possibly could be davidson. It has a really interesting honey comb pattern, which makes what ever is inside look really cool. The lid was produced in england and is marked as such, it has a very nice pattern. This mustard pot is awesome looking under a black light! If anyone has any comments or suggestions on age or maker, please feel free, I enjoy everyones feedback! Thanks for looking.

Hello, this is a collection of four applied glass vases, I believe there are two different makers. The acorn and smaller vase with the applied glass flower both are custard, while the other two are not. Then again it is possible they from the same area of the world, I think I have about 15 similar applied glass pieces, someday I will have to take a photo of the entire collection as it is sight to see, I love each of them however. If you have any comments please feel free, I enjoy reading them. Thanks for looking!

Hello, as I mentioned with the previous vase, I am really interested in glass pieces which have a lot of character, and this little bowl has ALOT of character. As you can see this bowl has a unique ruffled edge folded in, folded out rim. The color is a combination of Light Robin Egg Blue, White, and Vaseline. The glass is very thin, which is a good indication that it is very old, I am really clueless when it comes to a possible maker and age, could be Webb, Bohemian, British? If anyone has any information please feel free to comment! Thanks for looking.

Hello, this is a very cool vase! I beleive its Stevens Williams, it does have a lot going on! The first sweet aspect is the applied glass vine and handle which wraps entirely around, a few times! The second this vase has a striped pattern which is really nice, the third thing is the interesting cranberry top which has a unique rolled shape. I really love applied glass, especially if its in an interesting shape with a lot of character, which this one delivers! If anyone has any comments or possible information please feel free to post them! Thanks for looking.

Hello, I believe this is a Kralik Mustard Pot, I am not sure if there is a pattern, or just shade of glass. Which is absolutely Beautiful! I have to say this one of my favorites, its hard to capture the iridescent colors here, but they are nice. The lid is marked ESPN and made it England, this might help determine the maker, maybe it is english. If anyone has any information regarding this Mustard Pot, I would appreciate your feedback. Thanks for looking!
Shawnl86

Hello, this is a Kralik Crackle Vase in Blue. The vase itself is Lovely, the colors are hard to capture but I guarantee that they are amazing. Please feel free to comment as I appreciate them greatly, Thanks for looking!

Hello, this is a Harlequin Vaseline Opal Rose Bowl, the pattern is also known as Quadruple Diamonds, I am not 100% sure where to place the maker, maybe English, or Bohemian. It does have a nice polish. I love the way the pattern really shows even during the day you can see it clearly, and the hand painted design really adds a unique aspect which is lovely, I also love the combination of Glass Colors! If anyone has any idea of a maker please feel free to comment! Thanks for looking!

This was one of the last colors before Wheaton Glass stopped the Hostess selling line of the company.

Super Rare Wheaton set Only given to the Hostess "never sold to the public" My Great Aunt was one of the top seller's of Wheaton in the early 70's. She gave me this super rare set.

I found these in a local shop. I have 6 but there are two of one design.

Val St. Lambert of Belgium was founded by Messieurs Kemlin and Lelievre in 1825. The company is still in operation. Pieces are often decorated with cut designs. Val St. Lambert was also a well-known maker of lamps from the 1930s and '40s.

When I was asked what I wanted after my grandmother's passing, these are two of the pieces that I chose. One is a flat platter and, I assume, the other is a vegetable dish (?). I do not claim to know anything about these other than I like them and that my grandmother got them for purchasing a stove or an ice box in the 1930s.

From the internet:
Also occasionally referred to as "Spoke" pattern by dealers and collectors; Federal's amber color was originally marketed as "Golden Glo"
Most often found in amber followed by green. Pink and crystal (clear) pieces were also produced.

William McKinley memorial glass bread plate. Ten and a half inches wide, this was issued as tribute to the 25th President of the United States after his assassination in 1901. Raised full figure portrait and the words "It's Gods Way" and "His Will Be Done" are on the plate.

Today I'd like to share this quite old product of Polish glasswork Niemen (catalogue no 1191).This is also for Silvia to comparehttp://www.collectorsweekly.com/stories/151431-a-bohemian-blue-and-honey-hand-blown-fru?in=442
The bowl is mouth blown with the effect of optical glass and with a delicate cut of leaves and grapes,quite typical pattern in those days not only for Niemen.The rosaline glass set was made between 1920 and 1939.It consisted of cups and a soup-ladle also,but only 3 cups are left.
This is still useful occasionally,but the glass is so fragile, thatI avoid touching it at all.

Example of beautiful Heisey footed square clear glass plates in the Ridgeleigh pattern, which was produced between 1934 - 1943. Each plate has the impressed/stamped company logo, a raised capital letter "H" inscribed in a diamond.

This set of 8 champagne glasses were in my mother-in-law's attic. I have done some research but cannot locate any information. No markings on the glasses. Art Deco? Perfect condition. I think they are so pretty. If anyone has any information re the glasses, I would love to hear from you.
Thank you.

In 1934, the Aluminum Company of America (Alcoa) in New Kensington, Pennsylvania established a new division called Kensington, Inc., to manufacture a decorative giftware line during the Art Deco period. The giftware line was designed by the famed industrial designer, Lurelle Guild.

This "Gainsborough Vase" ( cat. no. 7029) is probably one of the most modernist designs from the company, and it is my favorite item from the giftware line. The giftware line used an aluminum alloy that is whiter in color than pure aluminum, and to me, it resembles sterling silver. The shaped aluminum alloy base with the wavy lines provides a striking contrast to the cobalt glass vase insert. This is a rather large vase, measuring 9''high and and 5 3/4'' diameter at the top.

These vases used to be fairly common to find about 10 years ago, but they are increasingly rare to find now--probably because they are ending up in many collections of people who like the classic Machine Age design.

Found it today in a boot sale market, never seen such a vase before. Its pressed glass and you can feel the ridges. Because the legs and single foot is the same colour as the body of the vase, I would say its all made at once and not someone attempting to repair a fault.

Pressed light green glass bowl and candle holders on metal stands decorated with sphinxes. Top of candlestick has hanging crystal prisms. No makers mark anywhere to be seen but the image in the bottom of the pressed glass bowl is an infinity sign. All I know of its origin is that my grandfather found it at an auction in Ohio. Anyone know who made these?

PLEASE, Help Save the Glass Post #3
One more today to identify & date.
I think this is an "ice bucket"
Quite heavy, 8.424 pounds
9-1/4" high
8" across the top
6" across the bottom
Handles are 1-3/4" thick
Thanks for the help,
Dave

PLEASE, Help Save the Glass Post #2
Need help again in identifying & dating this piece of warped glass.
Distance between outside edges of handles is approximately 6-1/2 inches.
Distance between inside edges of handles is approximately 4-1/8 inches.
End to end is 7 inches.
Base diameter is 2-3/4 inches.
No visible makers mark.
Thanks for your help,

This is an old clear over pink glass ring with a design along outer rim. I have 3, all with different designs. This came from my grandmother's and I presume it is part of an antique lamp but I do not know for sure. She collected and held antique auctions during her time. The measure about 3".

I've had this for about ten years and I bought it in a salvage store along with a matching compote that was a bit smaller than this one. I broke the small one very soon after, so it's gone forever.
I really love this piece but I feel it so delicate that I'm afraid to use as often as I would like. But I very much to know more about it.

I literally stumbled upon this funky punch set recently. I was about to give up on the thrift store when I kicked it and said to myself, "why would someone put glass in the floor".
After some research, I can not find one like it. I thought maybe Federal Glass Norse, but no. The ribs on this one are more mottled and not in a straight line.
Bowl is 11 inches across and 6.5 inches tall, holds a good couple of gallons. Footed cups are 4 inches tall.

PLEASE, Help Save the Glass !!!
I need help finding out if some of the glass items I have are worth saving or just placing them on a log in the back and using them for target practice.
Seriously, I have never studied or tried to collect glassware. In fact, I have never purchased any pieces that I have or have given away. These pieces just end up with me when someone (family or friends), pass away, and no one wants to keep them, so they say, we'll just give them to Dave!
Anyway I just thought I should tap into the great knowledge of my CW friends and find out if they are worth keeping to pass on later. Most that I have do not have makers marks or any type of identifying marks that I can find, so I don't know where to start, hence I'm seeking your wisdom.
The first two inquiries, I would guess, are (carnival glass ?) creamer & sugar bowl.
The sugar bowl is approximately 6 inches across edge of handle to edge of handle. Bowl is about 3.25 inches high. Base is 2.25 inches across.
Creamer is about 3.5 inches from bottom of base to top edge of spout. Edge of spout to edge of handle is 4.75 inches. Base is 2.25 inches.
I would call it an amber color.
Any information on maker, style and approximate age would be greatly appreciated.
By the way, the weapon of choice here, is a French style made (no makers marks), 9mm pin-fire, 3-7/8" double barrel pistol.
Thanks for looking,
Dave

Recently I saw a set very similar to the one I posted but I didn’t buy it. I was pressed class and had a mark inside that dated it back to around 1905 – 1910. I didn’t like it that much because it was very heavy and rather rough. When I say the set I posted here, it reminded me of the one I had seen earlier but this one seems to be better made. The glass is clear and the lines seem to be crisp. I believe it is cut rather than pressed. The pieces are rather heavy and in pretty good shape. Based on the similarity of the two sets (the one with the mark and my one) I would think that this one is from the early part of the last century too.

I have looked on line for similar items and there are a lot out there. Many of them are listed as American Brilliant Cut but because I really don’t know anything about the maker and the pattern, I wouldn’t make a claim like that. Also, I came across some Canadian cut glass that looked similar.

This pretty little glass dish in the first three photos came home with me yesterday. On the reverse, it has odd little facets, odd because instead of one point at the tip, there are four. The two seams are very cleverly hidden into the pattern. As you can see, the bottom has got a little blemish, it looks like it might be a manufacturer flaw, a tiny blob of glass stuck between two of the ridges.

The little glass bowl in the fourth pic is one I've posted before, still hoping for a clue or lead as to what company might have produced it. Any information greatly welcomed and appreciated. Thanks for looking.

HALF SOLVED: TallCakes identified the first dish as "Westmoreland Glass #555 English Hobnail which they made from 1920s to 1980s," am very grateful for his help! Still hoping for a clue as to the second little bowl. Anybody? Anybody? Bueller?

I acquired this from a friend whose father worked at DuPont in Niagara Falls, NY as a chemical engineer during the first half of the 20th century. I found the patent (US2233343 A) listed with the government that talks about some of the people on the note and shows the same chemical information. The patent date is 1941, applied for in 1939 and the sticker on the bottom says 38. I have other signed papers from the chemical engineer that makes this note look legitimate because the handwriting seems to match and I have proof he worked for DuPont during that time. Plus I know the direct link of ownership him, his son, me. Obviously I don't expect anyone to just take my word for it so I'm asking if anyone knows anything I can do to help authenticate these? As the note says these were experimental pieces made in the development of depression era glass. It seems like this history should be preserved, just not sure how to go about that. Any help is greatly appreciated. Apologies if this is not the appropriate place to post this.

""""Seetusee was a glassware manufactured in Portage la Prairie, Manitoba, Canada from 1960 until 1975...........All Seetusee pieces are unique as they were hand painted, cured and carefully sealed with a pigskin backing with a distinctive finish of gold paint that sets them apart from Mexican pieces. The colours are mixed, exciting and vibrant and have stood the test of time. Like many styles of art or craft they have gone through periods of popularity and decline. Each of the huge variety of shapes are identified by a number (with or without an ‘M’ prefix) stamped on the pigskin backing. The brand (Seetusee by Mayfair Glass) is also named on the backing, either in the form of a stamp or via a sticker label.

Look out for them, they are very beautiful and are becoming quite collectible.""""

~ ~ Hope you are Enjoy these and CHECK the others I have posted. Plus PLEASE check out those sites ~ ~

I have had this piece for a while now and every now and then I do some research but thus far have not been able to find anything close to it for reference or value. I would really appreciate it if someone could help with identifying this item. No marks or stamps visible to me, do not know age or country of origin, etc. Thanks in advance for help.

Me again. One of my weaknesses, buying old glass. I cam across this one in a barn and had to have it. I have not the slightest clue what it is or the purpose for which it was used. Your help is appreciated. Very thick, threaded globe.

I recently got this item and know nothing about it but had to have it. There are no markings that I have found. The barrel decanter is 14" around and 4 1/4 across the ends of the barrel. 7" long, silver plated holder is 11" high 61/4" long. Shot glasses are 2 1/4" tall 4.5" around the bottom and 1 1/4" across the bottom, the top is 6" around and 1 3/4 across. They have a rippling pattern that is hard to photograph, that resembles the shape of the barrel. It glows brightly under a blacklight! If you know the maker and when it was new, please share. Thank you for your time and consideration,

I have found what this is but have no clue what it went in. Orange Crush keeps popping up everywhere when I google it but I find not one like it. Would like to know what it went in, officially. I found the patent and see the beverage dispenser but would like to see an actual image of a tangible item. So much fun buying odd things. lol

Hi I'm hoping someone will know who the maker of this cut glass dish is or the pattern. It belonged to my mother. And she collected stuff for years. I don't know if it's old or new. It is 10 inch long and the cut flowers in it is amazing. There's no markers mark at all. Any help would be great. Thanks in advance.

It is also production of glass factory Gebedje from the 1940s. http://www.glas-musterbuch.de/Gebedje-ohne-Jahr.244.0.html sheet ? 13.These glasses are produced in many colors. Blue tray is very dear to me because it is a memory of my grandmother!

We obtained this serving tray at an Estate Sale and we have been trying to determine the maker and pattern. The glass tray is about 12 inches in diameter with a handle as seen in the photo. It has what looks like a rose pattern but in researching the pattern it does not appear anywhere. We think it is depression glass but might be elegant glassware as well.

Can anyone help use identify the pattern and maker of this beautiful dish?

The glassware is a set that we found at an Estate Sale and contains a number of different items to include several bowls, trays, serving trays, dishes, and wine glasses. We have looked everywhere to find the pattern but have not been able to narrow down our search any further than we think it might be made by Fostoria glass company.

Can anyone help us identify the pattern, maker and age of this glassware?

These are lead vases that I have rescued from yard sales over the years. I have no idea how old or how collectable they might be, if any. So to anyone that has any knowledge I would highly appreciative if you would elaborate.

another piece of cut crystal from Goodwill. it's in perfect condition. It's very pretty. American Brilliant? i have no idea!

It is the same size as the Marine Blue dish posted by Behrinmind. I think 9" by 6". A yellow scalloped seashell dish with the figure of a woman holding her foot. It is footed (two feet). I'm guessing that since Behrinmind has a Marine Blue one and I found a yellow one that they are from the 1970's as typically I find those colors along with Avocado Green in glass from the 1970's. Any information that anyone has is welcomed.

This set is made in glass factory Gebedje in Beloslav.This little town is situated near Varna on the Black Sea. This factory has been specialized in the production of several types of glass by hand, pressed and glass packaging.

Okay I'm no glass collector/expert but online info is sometimes confusing and misleading.

I know one of you experts out there will be able to tell me what pattern pitcher I got today. I was in love just as soon as I saw it. It's super heavy and has a greenish shade to it. I thought it might be uranium... I have to find my black light to check it out soon.

Hi
Everyone.
I found this gorgeous Turtle Cut Glass yesterday at my local VV, very heavy piece of glass, no label or signature, very good condition, no chip, damage or crack , i love it.
This Turtle was 7 inch long, 3.50 inch high, 5 inch wide.

I love this bowl! Having a hard time finding pattern etc...Measures 5 inches tall, about 6 around, very deep cut swirls on sides, colors are amazing, around the cut out rim is a a deeper purple...does not fade to orange. A deep cherry red in color. Thanks!

I 99.99% sure this is Colony by Fostoria but I cannot find a picture of it. the candlestick is 9.75 inches high. Because I cannot find any pictures on the internet makes me think it is rare to come across. I do have a lot of Colony so the pattern looks right. The foot of the candlestick is swirled and flat. I hope someone can tell me if I am correct or it is something else. Thank you for looking and Thank you for your help.

I love yardsales and estate sales. This is from a family estate sale. They did
not have an estate company so they were trying to do it themselves.
Well, This is one of my finds for $10.00. I just love it. I would like to know the name of the scene or the collection. It is signed S. Smith. for Sue Lu Smith.
They had about 30 pieces so I bought 3 other pieces but this is my favorite. They still had large and small pieces lef .pieces left. So I left , made a u turn and came back to tell them how to mark up the other pieces left based on my little knowledge.. They started marking them up and said they really wanted to get rid of the items that belonged to their mom.
I felt better.
So that was my weekend.

Hi
Everyone.
This is another piece i found yesterday during my hunting at the thrift store.In pristine condition, no chip damaged or crack, not so much expensive as resale but quite attractive for the viewer.
Gorgeous Vintage Blue Carnival Glass Candy Dish by the Indiana Glass Company"The Princes Candy Box" is a Beautiful Blue with lots of Purple, Gold and Pink hues visible in the Iridescent finish.This candy Dish was 4 inch high by 6 inch diameter.

This is a small footed bowl 5 1/2" long, 4" wide, and 2 3/4" tall. It was by Fenton. Fenton made these for LG Wright Glass Co but I don't see a mark for Wright on it. I don't have an age estimate for it but am guessing late 1930s to 1950s.
This is Elegant Glass according to information I found on this site.

These four bowls were made by the JH Hobbs, Brockunier and Company. Usually just called Hobbs. Going with circa 1884 from what I have seen on the net. They are 4 1/2" wide and 1 1/2" tall.
If anyone has any additional information I would appreciate it.

I found this at an estate sale and it looked Fenton to me. But I have only found 1 picture of another one, I have found similar but not this exact piece. It is 12 inches tall, and looks like Pink Overlay. Can anyone tell me anything about this beautiful piece.

These are a couple pieces of green vaseline depression glass that I have. You can see the illumination of the green edges with a black light and also with my camera flash. I just wish I knew the pattern names.
I also have a plate two sides are straight and the other sides are scallop. i love these pieces. The lid has a chip, see picture

My grandmother had two of these and I still have no clue what they are. As I'm typing this, another possibility has dawned on me, Maybe one of those cocktail party dishes for two different types of cheeses or the like? Still doesn't tell me the maker or age though.

This is the reason I don't like glass most times. No MM and no way to tell how old it is. Unless there's a local class? Anyone? No one? Ok, so you guys are my best bet for these. My grandmother owned all these and she knew as much as I do. So first of a ...bunch. Thanks you guys!

These were my grandmother's. Just sitting up in a dusty shelf. No markings of any kind underneath or inside. They kind of look like those boiled egg holders but what do I know? Also, the glass type is foreign to me. Green swirls in white? No clue.

I don't know much about this kind of thing, but i was told a long time ago to keep my eyes peeled for glass which is cut vs. pressed. This seems to be cut. i picked it up for about $5 at Goodwill the other day. can anyone tell me anything about it? age? quality? etc...

Known as 'Thousand Windows", this elegant bowl has something special; optical illusion. When looking through one of the 30 concave lenses you will see an almost endless multiplication of windows.... so cool!
By Simon Gate from Orrefors, Sweden.

This pretty little glass bowl was another recycling centre find !!
For 50p I couldn't say no ..
I think it's Vaseline glass but stood corrected as I'm not up on glass really , its 4"round x nearly 3"high it also has a guilded rim around the top , it's white in colour & has a nice pattern on the base and a different pattern around the top ..
When held up to natural light it seems to get a yellowy off white glow.
I think it's a great little bowl/footed dish & hope you like it :-)
I've just put it under uv light and was expecting it to go green but it goes the same colour as the uv light ???
thanks to TallCakes for the i-d on this beautiful opal glass bowl,
made in the USA & the pattern is American Sweetheart pattern, by Macbeth-Evans & known as Monax , 1930s ;-)

Hope anyone can help me with more info on this vase. I got it from my grandmother, who bought it in the 1940-1950's. The height is 10cm and width 5cm. A small sticker on the side said it is from Italy.

Received this pitcher as a wedding gift 25years ago. It was from an elderly lady whom has since passed. It is 7.5 inches tall,and is signed D Billings. Any information about it would be greatly appreciated.

Imperial Glass began making their carnival glass versions of the Windmill pattern in 1912. This slag glass piece has the superimposed IG mark located inside bottom indicating it was made after 1951. Imperial reissued this pattern in various colors from the time of initial production until closing shop around 1984. The pattern includes a windmill scene in two panels and a fishing scene in one panel. This is the smaller version, which is 6-1/2" to top of ice lip by 4" wide
OMN: #514 Windmill
YOP: 1912 in carnival glass
MFG: Imperial Glass Co.

These were an auction find. I have 4. Clear glass, scalloped edge. recessed bottom almost to a point. I have had people say a ring dish, pickle dish, or maybe a generic hotel ashtray. I am leaning toward the ashtray. Anyone have any clues?

Hi
Everyone.
I found this gorgious Cut Glass Bowl on friday this week, at GW, at this crazy day when they put averything in the store at 50%, i have a good deal on this for sure, when i tap gently the side with my nail, i hear a very fine pitch noise, this is quality at the top crystal, but at usual the sticker is long time gone on this one, so seeing Cut Glass for long time(not buy it)this will date around 1930-40, could be older, not sure.
This Bowl stand 4.50 inch tall, 4.25 at the base and 5.25 top opening, very,very heavy piece of crystal ,3.14 pound,1.7 kg.
Look all details in picture 1

Hi
Everyone.
I found this Cut Glass Vase today at my thrift store in my area, really delicate piece of glass, very heavy(good quality) the sticker was long time gone on it(other then the $2.99 price tag),antiquerose point me in the good direction--this was :Cristal d'Arques Paris.This beautiful vase stand 7 inch tall, on 2 inch by 2 inch base with 4 inch wide top opening.

The glass is 7 3/4" tall, 4 3/8" diameter across rim. The top clear part of the glass seems to be a very thin glass. The ribbed stem is (gold) gild 2 1/4". The base (foot) of the glass is frosted glass. Overall, the glass is much heavier then it looks. I have not found any markings on it. I acquired this item in a box of mixed item at an auction. The other items in the box were from the 1940's and 50's. I would appreciate any help to identify this piece.

I fell in love with the ruby red color of this piece of glass. The owner of the shop told me that it was a ladies spittoon and that he believed that it was Seneca glass that had been manufactured in West Virginia. I am in PA so I found that logical. However, I know nothing about glass so I am asking for help please.

Why can't I seem to find any information on this Northwood ? Crystal Whiskey Set...Of course there are tons of web pages for carnival sets but nothing on the Crystal pieces ? I'm lost. Is it Northwood?

I think this is a thumbprint cake stand, but I can't find any information on specifics. The only thumbprint I can find documentation on is Federal. This has a fenton sticker on it. what is the name of the color?

I found this decanter at gw today I thought it was kind of unique and it has many sides it was hard to capture this in the pictures. The best part to me is the stopper the way it captures the images because of the way it is cut. Does anybody have any thoughts on the age or type of glass this might be it has a slight tint to it and no makers marks or signature. Thanks for looking!!

Hi
Everyone.
I found this Art Deco Cut Glass Vase Yesterday at my SA thrift store in my area, really delicate piece of glass, very heavy(good quality) the sticker was long time gone on it, i will guess germany or orrofore sweedish, but not sure.If someone as seem this style before, feel free to pinpoint me in the good direction.This beautiful vase stand 8.50 inch tall, on 4 inch base(3 small feet) with 3.50 inch top opening.

This rare Art Deco vase is a recent acquisition of mine. I've been waiting to find an unidentified one for a number of years at a bargain basement price and scoop it up! This is called the "fishbowl" vase, and it was designed by famed industrial designer, George Sakier, for the Fostoria Glass Company, circa 1930's. It's in the golden topaz color, but it's most often seen in black amethyst. I love the nautilus design and shape of it.

George Sakier designed a number of glassware items for Fostoria (as seen in the auction picture courtesy of Sotheby's), and I have a few pieces in my collection. But this vase is one of my favorite designs by him, and I'm glad I finally was able to add one to my collection.

We have this glass/small vase, the first pick on the blue table is closer to the true colour, the other two were taken with the vivid setting on the camera. I'm trying to find out its made from and the style?
There is no markings on the bottom, I'm wondering if its Jadite or some sort of knockoff.
Anyone can help, that would be great.

Hi all, I know nothing about glass but bought this for $10 from a opp shop, made in Poland on the sticker no other marks. It's about 40 cm tall, love the shape and style. Is this mid century or later? Any help would be appreciated much thanks

A bowl and an ice-cream dish in a wonderful bright green colour in the 'Komet' ('Comet') series produced at Holmegaard Glassworks 1938-1941. There is also a large pitcher for milk or cream meant to go with the bowl (a so-called 'strawberry set') as well as small plates. I cannot imagine a more summery thing than one of these bowls filled with strawberries!

Also an amber-coloured bowl from another series of glass meant for daily use, 'Skjold' ('Shield') produced at Fyens Glassworks (1873-1990) from 1934 and onwards (not to be confused with Per Lütken's series of the same name from the 1960's). This was also produced in amber, light yellow, green, and colourless glass in various sizes and shapes; mostly bowls, but also pitchers, dishes, and vases. The Skjold items all have a nice starburst pattern on the bottom.

There are many of these glass object meant for daily use available on markets and fairs - they don't seem to be particularly popular as they can often be had for very reasonable or even low prices. I think these things are very charming in their design and with their little irregularities and would much rather have one of these than buy a new bowl!

We found this decantur and/or picture with 5 mugs, in the attic of a house we bought, approx. 20 yrs. ago they were in a old wooden box, with leather hinges and old decayed news papers, just curious if any body has any information on them, the bottom edges of the 5 mugs, and the picture it self will cut you if you slide your fingers over blown glass. thanks for your help.

These were made by Northwood in 1900 (possibly 1899). In 1903 and 1904 they were made by Barstow Glass. A fire destroyed the molds in 1904.
It is close to 8" wide and 3 3/4 tall and will glow under a UV light. The flash brings out the blue, it isn't as noticeable normally.
The last photo is of my Rose Bowl Flea market haul. Includes the trunk and everything on it.

Very pretty vase that was a gift from my husband many years ago. 12 inches high 15 inches in circumference and ½ an inch thick. There is a signature on it and I cannot make out what it is. I think the first name initial is an F and the second name may be R. Has anyone seen this signature before? I know he paid a pretty penny for it and was curious who cut it. Thanks in advance for any help you may give.

We got this set as a wedding gift and I know nothing about them. They are 5 1/2" tall and 3" diam. They appear to be hand blown (several bubbles in the base) and no manf stamps. I've never used them and would like to sell them, but unsure of what to even call them. Any info for this glass dummy would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

These are two deceptive goblets we bought a month ago here near our hous to a new dealer. Here they are call "copas robadoras", literally translated means burglar goblets, because they contain much less liquid of what it seems. I was not sure about its age but when I put them under the black light they were green, so they contain some amount of uranium, though not as much as other glasses we have (second pic). I think they are English perhaps 1910. Thanks for watching.

My apologies for the upside down photos, can't seem to get them flipped. They were right in the file before I loaded them?!

Found this neat piece at a local Red White and Blue Thrift store. Passed it up first time but it was there the following week and I couldn't resist. I know very little about old carnival and I believe this to be quite old. It is 7 1/2 " tall and the bowl is 8" across. The base is 5" wide.
The base shows it was a 3 part mold according to the seems I can find. Appears to have been stretched and slightly twisted. The stem has a slight twist in it. Base is yellow and the color changes to red as the stem nears the bowl. Bowl appears to have an iridescent treatment inside and out with and satin finish and " alligator " pattern in it. I don't know if this was intended or from age.
There are no chips or scratches but does have some straw marks etc . Consistant with old glass. There is one fissure on base but I don't believe it is a crack as much as an age thing. ( there is no bruise or damage to the area)
I would love to know anything about it if anyone can give me clues so I may research further I would appreciate it.

24% lead crystal, approx. 7" high by 4" across. Found at local goodwill.
This is one of the first crystal pieces(other than glasses)that actually rings when tapped, and the tone sustains for at least ten seconds.

Queen Lace Crystal (I believe) Kenyan Wildlife. I found this in a local shop for a few dollars. I really like this bowl and it is in perfect condition.

Sat, 07 Feb 2015 11:09:07 -0800

I purchased this at a yard sale and I really do not know what it was used for or what type of pitcher it is. As you can see it has a strainer top with cork around the edge of the strainer. It has a stamp on the edge of the top or lid that says, PAT- 4-5-24 , which I'm assuming is the patent date? It measures 9" tall and about 6" wide including handle. Can anyone tell me what type of pitcher this is or what the strainer was used for?

Iced Tea Tumblers Glasses

They are very heavy
Libbey USA on the bottom

I will visit this site which has details on Libbey

Diameter 4"
1 1/2 Tall
Not sure if it's glass or crystal.
So much detail in this piece hope you can see them.....I really tried to capture them.
Couldn't find any marks.
Found this ashtray the same time I found the Baccarat candle holder's.

Three fine ( I think Sherry glasses) acid etched with bunches of what seem like Cherries.
No idea of age, but they have belonged to my friend for more then 60 yrs, before that they belonged to his Grandma. He remembers 5 glasses and a small matching decanter. They have a wonderful ring when you tap them. There are no marks, if any body could tell us more, that would be great.
Many thanks for looking

So I remember some years ago when this set came to me that I got the impression it was Venetian glass, vintage. The bottom of the decanter and the glasses are all stamped Made in Italy, and that's about all I know about them, except that it appears to be blown molded glass. I've seen this set on offer at various sites with no other information. Mine used to have six glasses but I broke one. This blue color, the shape of the bottle and glasses, their facets, make this set so pleasing to look at. I hope you enjoy looking at it!

My mystery box. I got it at a garage sale a couple years ago in a very old part of town. At 8" in length, I'm not sure if it was for gloves, powder or just candy. The inside of the lid and bottom of the box are as pretty as any other part. The relief is quite pronounced. Absent of any hallmarks, I only know it is early milk glass because of the translucent areas and swirls.

It's uniqueness has completely charmed me. I love it, though I don't collect milk glass or boxes. It's only job at my house is to be beautiful, and that it does quite well.

Degenhart Glass Company was in business from 1947 to 1978 and was then sold to Boyd. Boyd makes this piece now although the top is a bit different. Personally I prefer the top edge on this piece.
Degenhart was known for making novelty pieces like this, also they made top hat style with the hopnail pattern one often sees.
Got this piece at the same shop as the large relish dish seen in the last photo and after three months they are reunited.

This pitcher was bought a month ago without any great hesitation, we were not sure of buying it, but cobalt glass is one of my favorites. It is hand blown with a broken pontil mark, second picture, and some enameled flowers in light blue and white (last picture), that were done by some inexpert hand. In the third picture the ribbed optic glass can be appreciated. The shape of the body is not usual, at least I had not seen another one with it. I believe that it was made in England.

Hi, does anyone know what these glasses are? They belonged to my grandmother, likely from 1920-1940, but am not sure if she got them new. The tallest is 6" tall and 3.25" in diameter, and the shortest 3.25" tall and 1.5/8" in diameter. There are no markings.

I remember biting into one when I was about 10 - I thought they were thin and had sort of a plastic-like feel to them. Needless to say, I was strongly chastised as the set was then short one glass.

Any insight is appreciated. It would be nice to know what I'm enjoying!

This piece was made by Anchor Hocking from 1931 to 1937. It is the Mayfair pattern also known as Open Rose.
It is 11" wide from handle to handle and 10" wide from the other side. It is 1" tall and has three feet to support it. Not quite tall cakes material but nice enough.

Hi
Everyone
Here is the result of my hunt of yesterday, a Peill Crystal globe vase, with is original label” Peill Germany,24% Bleikristall”. This vase is really heavy, the cutting glass work was impressive, German quality, really nice piece of glasswork. Stand on 5” tall, 2”1/4 at the base,3”3/8 top opening, 5”1/2 at the larger point.

I will appreciated any input on the circulation of this vase, I just start collecting glass, I do lot of web research lately, I love to learn on the subject.

These beautiful candle holders were made by Fostoria in the Randolph pattern. I just love the lace edges and delicate aqua/ turquoise color. Turquoise milk glass is quite popular right now and it's no wonder why, the color is just so appealing.

I have just found this lovely bowl in a charity shop.
Its gorgeous,I love the bubbly pattern on it.
The inside of the bowl is smooth all the pattern is underneath.
Looks better upside down.
Im wondering if its carnival glass :)

I found it at a junk shop some time ago. I am not sure what it was made for, but it looks old to me.
It is not exactly crystal clear, it has a slight amber tint. It measures about 6x6. It is about 1.75 inches tall with the cut out about .75 inches deep.
I was hoping it was an ashtray, but maybe not since it does not have indentations for cigars/cigarettes.

Yesterday a couple of you were kind enough to identify my pieces as Northwood Glass Carnival Grape & Cable glass. Thanks again for your help.

I have a couple of more questions -

Only the right hand glass in the first image (3 glasses) has the Northwood "N" in a circle mark. Should I assume the other two glasses are also Northwood? I've read that many Northwood pieces have no mark.

The glass on the left side of the picture has a different interior color than the other two glasses. Are all three glasses considered amethyst/purple?

Art Deco period pressed glass vase with crimped rim. Has a sun & ray pattern around the bottom portion. It measures 9 1/4" inches tall. Maker and time period are unknown. Any help would be appreciated.

I do not have any information on this vase and am hoping whether anyone can narrow it down. I believe based on pictures I've seen online that it could be either Czech or German Bohemian. I don't even know the age of this piece. All I know is that it isn't Waterford Crystal. That I am positive of.

hi everyone!!! new to the site and loving it !!!! got this set at an auction years ago and don't know anything about it.. there's no marks or names any where . i've searched the web many times and never found it. any help would be great ... thanks in advance

This one came from my wife's grandmother. It's the first uranium glass piece I ever saw, and imagine my surprise when I first saw it under UV light! Vase is 7" tall by 1.24" across at the base, no manufacturer marking on it.

Am trying to find out the maker of these high quality candlesticks. They appear to be blown with applied foot/bases. The middle sections are cut flat on each side and slightly beveled/eased. They are highly polished. pics do not do them justice. Does anyone know where they might be from. I was leaning toward czechoslovakian crystal as I have read that much of the Neodymium glass is made there . Please help.

Water goblets in the Regina pattern from Seneca Glass. Mouth blown and wheel cut by master artisans. Nearly identical cutting pattern as Vernay by Hawkes, which was introduced in 1925. Third pic shows them alongside Seneca's Richelieu pattern. (I like to blend them all together so the light refracts in different patterns.)

I think I got all the information on it in the title. To add a bit it is 10 1/2" wide. Also it has either a mold flaw or straw marks, probably straw marks. Seems to be very common with this piece.
At first I thought this was something being made currently made but those don't tend to have the straw marks.

Part of my stemware collection from Seneca Glass in the Richelieu pattern. Love the controlled bubble in the bottom of the bowl and the zipper cuts on the stem. Seneca is said to have made a set in this pattern for Eleanor Roosevelt, but I've not been able to establish if that was for her personal use or part of the Whitehouse collection.

This vintage glass measuring vessel promotes Holland House Cocktail Mixes. It has a Hazel Atlas manufacturer's mark on its bottom.

This must be an old item as it's dispensations are measured in "jiggers", as opposed to the contemporary measurements of ounces, Milliliters or Centiliters.

A cool item from days gone by, it still sees service when guests visit. This item complements the vintage cocktail recipe books that I have. It's neat to mix up old time cocktails in old time measuring glasses!

The glass is five inches tall, and has a hob nailed bottom. Its reverse features It's Fritz, a pretty good harness horse in his time. There were other horses featured on similar glasses during the 20th Anniversary season.

Pocono Downs is now owned by Mohegan Sun, which has increased the purses and consequently the quality of racing at Pocono.

This is my grandmother's "Crystal" that I now believe is American Brilliant Cut Glass. The pattern seems to match with the Libbey Tornado Pattern but I am just learning and eager to find out more. This has also been in my family since it was purchased by my grandmother in either Philadelphia or New Jersey.

This is another of my grandmother's pieces that we have always called cut glass. It is a little over 2 inches high and has a 9 inch diameter. I would love to know the pattern and if it is really cut glass.

This was sold to me as an authentic vintage Federal glass item. But others are telling me it isn't the correct embossing and its a fake.
What do ya'll think?
This si the ino it was sold to me as:
Vintage Federal Glass Refrigerator Dish ~ Embossed Vegetable Design on Lid
Small vegetable pattern refrigerator dish and lid. It was made by Federal Glass and has the authentic F mark on the bottom of the ribbed container. Both pieces are in perfect condition with no chips or cracks.
4.5" long x by 4.25 wide x 3.25 tall.

This beautiful piece is from my grandmother who lived in Philadephia and New Jersey in the late 1800's and was married in 1914. I would like to know the name of the pattern and what the piece is called. Thank you.

This beautiful goblet with sphere was found at a thrift store but was too unique to pass up. Very heavy one centimeter thick glass and solid globe bottom. It is all one piece and just beautiful to look at. I picture a very expensive beta fish making this it's home. Has anyone ever seen anything like this as one solid piece of glass?

I haven't found definite information on this but it seems to be from 1935-1938. Most people call it the Checkerboard pattern. Hazel-Atlas used variations on the checkerboard in a few patterns.
Bought this one a ways back and just now looked up information on it. Goes well with the pink Jeanette ashtray.

I recently purchase a number of Heisey glass bobeche's at a local auction. Inside or laying in each of the bobeche was the metal ring you see in the photographs (2,3,4 ). Is it something that is supposed to be in the bobeche? If so what is it's purpose? Is it some sort of wax catcher? Is it an item used to arrange flowers? Looking forward to reading all the reponses. Thank you.

This piece is currently being made by Dugan. Made in America one at a time and not mass produced.
The Wreathed Cherry pattern sold by LG Wright and made by Fenton. Although I don't think they made a toothpick holder in this pattern.

This is the Windsor Pattern made by Jeanette Glass from 1936-1946. It is 5 3/4" wide. As you can see it has a holder for a book of matches. A nice thing about collecting depression glass is that you can find a nice piece for not a lot of money.

This beautiful piece is a recent flea market find. It is about 9.5 inches across and about 1.5 inches tall at its high points.
There seems to be a mark on the bottom, but I cant make it out/don't recognize it.

Calling all Stemware experts. Need help in identifying some stems we purchased over the weekend. Searched and searched........ and found nothing close. They are 5-5/8" tall overall, 1-5/8" up to bottom of Vessel. The cone shaped Vessel is 4" tall, 1-1/8" Dia. at bottom and 2-3/4" Dia. at Mouth. Foot is 2-11/16" Dia. Any leads would be greatly appreciated.

I found this at the local GW this past weekend and from the looks it's mouth blown w/finished pontil. But, none of that I am sure of.
I've done some searching and have seen some that look identical to this one but they are 12 1/2" tall and this one is only 12".
If anyone has any additional info I would be highly appreciative.

This bowl was made by Imperial Glass from 1927 through the 1930s. It is 4 and 3/4" wide. It is my first piece with the frosted trim. My second piece in the Beaded Block pattern. It stands out fairly well. Still I need to get some UV lighting for it and its friends.

A Glass candle holder. The seller didn't seem to care much for it, yet I found it irresistible. I Enjoy glass, yet know little about it. Any ideas as to its era or possible maker is appreciated. The Brighteyed Talented seller was approx. 85 yrs. & said it was her moms.

Please help me i-d this beautiful fruit bowl !!
Ive been searching the web & come up with nothing like it !!
Its oval around the top & round at the base .
Its roughly 12" across the widest .
3"h rising to 4" at the oval .
its quite heavily lined/ribbed on the outside.
Has an engraved slightly impressed picture in the bottom of the base of a girl picking a bunch of grapes , its also quite heavy & i think good quality ..
it also has some age due to scratches on the base and other places ...
please all you glass collectors have you any ideas ??? ;-)
(Found at a tip in U.K)

I got this dish last week and I havent been able to find anything out about it. It looks and feels vintage, but there are no makers mark. It looks to me like a relish or a side dish. Possible part of a set? I got it out of an estate with a bunch of other vintage glassware. If anyone has any ideas or leads I would appreciate it!

Idk any thing about this bowl it belong to my grandmother. I really love to know more information about this bowl. My aunt has the bowl at her house thank you

Purchased in January 2015 in Fredericksburg, VA. The set came from a colonial era home in Bowling Green, VA. The creamer in the front is about 5" tall and about 11" in diameter. It also has a badly faded marking on the bottom that resembles a small arrangement of three pointed leaves. The set appears to be made of milk glass and has a number of swirls and other minor imperfections in the glass. The designs appear to be hand painted. The items also appears to have had gold painted trim near or on the top of each piece, but is largely gone. We have no interest in selling these - we just want to know more about them.

Waterford
Crystal Candlesticks
8 1/2" Tall
These have mark w/out the seahorse....
In 1999 Waterford crystal introduced a new stamp to celebrate the millennium and to thwart counterfeiters. The new stamp showed the name "Waterford" with a seahorse design.
Think I will keep these out ;)

I have a set of four of these another gift from my grandma one as a sticker on saying made in france exclusively for princess house tempered but gorgeous can't believe had these for a while too been collecting without realising lol sharon

Well can't believe it had this beauty in my cupboard for years it was my grandmas lovely has grapevine pattern etched on it I thought it was german as she went there a lot but it is stamped france on the base so it threw me but thought I would share :-) sharon

This glass bowl measures 8 inches in diameter…the pattern is swirls…and the background is stippled. There is a round foot on the bottom and it has a sixteen ray sunburst in the middle. It looks like Sandwich Glass to me but I can't find the pattern; and not sure if about the number of rays in the sunburst.

Fire King Jade-ite has grown in popularity over the years. These pieces are from an estate sale I attended in Wisconsin. The plate is from their restaurantware line and the two cups usually include square saucers. I just love the shade of green of Jadeite.

Very interesting marine blue shell dish. It is pressed glass. 9" x 6".
It is heavy with a few air bubbles, blue iridescent. The young person is part of the dish. I don't know how old this is or young. The color is what caught my eye. It also has two feet under the dish for balance.
I found a similar dish in milk glass with a cherub lying in the same position on a shell holding on to it's foot by Avon. This one is not marked, and the lady has longer hair and obviously a different color.

I found this pair of candle Holder yesterday during my hunt, i don't know much on depression glass,,,.
But i will appreciated any feedback on them, the picture 2 show a mark underheath it's a GW,stand for " Westmoreland Glass" Thanks to nutsabotas6 & TallCakes for the info.

BTW, i am ingenious guy,,, an last night i work on some kind of LED light for taken my pictures, when it's colored glass, we can see throught, i use 2 plate of clear Plexi glass, 4 stripe of Led light, i connected the led light in serial together, et voila le travail, let me know what you think about it, those candle holder was taken with this home made contruction.

Glass with Metal ring lid. Made in Italy approx. 1970s. One side of the glass has embossed on it

Other side has embossed on it THE GENERAL STORE MARYSVILLE 1882-KANSAS
The bottom is embossed Crownford China Co. Made Italy 1971
Approx.8 ¼” L x 5” W x 5 ¼” H

Another pair of pieces that until now I have not given proper attention.
These were made by Fostoria from 1925-1931 and is called the Priscilla pattern. It is Elegant Glass and opposed to Depression. A bit higher quality with no air bubbles or mold defects.
Is it just me or does this seem a bit art deco?

Final Example here of SEETUSEE GLASSWARE....bet you thought I forgot to post the last one

This one is VERY, very Special to me. This was my parents very first piece. I remember it being on the Coffee Table when I was just a kid of 6 or 7. Hard to take a good pic of it with all the colors and the reflective nature of the front. It still has little carpet pieces on the bottom that I remember my Dad putting on it. So very close to my heart!! Bright colors, splashes of other colors. A few fleck of like Green Sparkles in it. Not sure of the number on the back --as can not make it out.

Here is some info/link on this Glassware from the site of CANADIAN DESIGN RESOURCE [quoted below]:

""""Seetusee was a glassware manufactured in Portage la Prairie, Manitoba, Canada from 1960 until 1975...........All Seetusee pieces are unique as they were hand painted, cured and carefully sealed with a pigskin backing with a distinctive finish of gold paint that sets them apart from Mexican pieces. The colours are mixed, exciting and vibrant and have stood the test of time. Like many styles of art or craft they have gone through periods of popularity and decline. Each of the huge variety of shapes are identified by a number (with or without an ‘M’ prefix) stamped on the pigskin backing. The brand (Seetusee by Mayfair Glass) is also named on the backing, either in the form of a stamp or via a sticker label.

Look out for them, they are very beautiful and are becoming quite collectible.""""

~ ~ Hope you are Enjoy these and CHECK the others I have posted. Make sure to check out those links ~ ~

I have been going through my glass to and doing some research on them and displaying them a bit better. This piece was sitting on a low shelf gathering dust and is now properly displayed.
This is a green glass bowl made by Jeanette Glass and is the Adam Pattern. These were made from 1932-1934. It is 8" wide by 2 1/2 tall and 3" at the base.

Hi
Everyone.
I see so many Glass Vase post lately, i start to collected them, this is terrible to be like this, i start friday last week,i have already a douzen, i don't know anything on Glass Collectable, i will learn i know that.
I found this one at my local GW, it's a round shape cutted Glass vase, 6" tall by 5" with fish design, a little sticker on the side "Crystal Brand International, Designed In Ireland, 24% Lead Crystal, Handmade in The Czech Rebublic.

these items were bought at a garage sale about 3 years ago. I was told they were serving dishes for dried fruit. the colors and the shape are incredible butterfly shape. the glass is etched and beaded on the edges. the smaller ones are 12" max width while the bigger one is 18". the gentleman I bought them from told me to look up armeitalian but have had no success. he is also told me they were in his family for years. they are truly incredible and hoping someone can help figure where they came from and approximate age.

Another interesting piece of art glasswork.
It would be really great to know more about it. I have spoken to a handful of experts, all of whom agree this is an old and unusual paperweight, but are of mixed opinions as to where it could have been made. I came across it on a market stall in the north of Spain, where it sat hidden among many other antique household items, from what looked to be a rather grand old Spanish Masia's (farmhouse) contents.

After stumbling across this marvellous site, I thought I would upload this wonderful piece of artwork to pick your brains. If there is anyone out there with any information about antique paperweights, then please do get in touch, I would love to hear from you and add to my knowledge (albeit rather limited) of this stunning piece. It is possible that this paperweight was made slightly before or during the classic period and I would love to find out for sure.

I purchased these glass vases at an estate sale. The vases are all 12" tall, clear glass and ring like a church bell. By accident two clanked together and the sound they made was unbelievably loud, clear and held for some time. They are heavy...vases are between 5-5 1/2 pounds each.

Does anyone have an opinion as to their age or type of glass. None of the research I have done has convinced me of anything.

Hi I am hoping someone more knowledgeable about these things could point me in the right direction. I have several different pieces. They were given to me by a friend who got them from their grandmother. I did not find markings on them. Thank you : )

I have a set of 6 tall frosted tom collins glasses labelled on the Base F in the shield for Federal Glass, all with amazing black imprints of amazing hot girlie girls with Elvegrin like cute themes like “hot Shot”, “Dangerous Curves”, “Stepping High” and more. The best part about them is they are all a matching set, and ALL 6 have grogeous like new cherry red lips as the only color in them. I have NO Clue what year, who made them and who the artist is, PLEASE HELP.

This was given to me as a gift from a friend who purchased it in the 60's while living in Germany, but I have not been able to identify what type of crystal or where it was made. It is a stunning piece. It measures approximately 15" with lid on. This is a heavy piece of glassware.

Vintage Federal Glass Refrigerator Dish ~ Embossed Vegetable Design on Lid
Circa 1940
Small vegetable pattern refrigerator dish and lid. It was made by Federal Glass and has the authentic F mark on the bottom of the ribbed container. Both pieces are in perfect condition with no chips or cracks.

I found this stunning blue glass vase in a second hand store here in Sweden. It is 8 inches tall and 3.5 inches wide at each of the 3 sides. It's rather heavy. (approximately 500 grams) It's triangular shaped. I searched Google extensively but couldn't find anything like it. Does anyone here have any clues as to what this may be regarding origin, etc?

One of my resolutions for this year was to start posting on CW pretty things other than jewellery. I will start with these five wonderful Jugendstil tea holders made of copper and brass, by German factory Carl Deffner around 1900. Two still have the original engraved glass, the others are modern replacements. WMF still produces tea glasses on this size. Three have been overcleaned, and two are in very good condition with a lovely patina. I love the organic design. I hope you enjoy them too!

Mardi Gras 22k New Orleans themed drinking glasses. These gorgeous & rare 1960s gold jester rhinestone jewelled glasses, are of the flat gold pattern, with actual rhinestones, that is considered the rarest. I am much more fond of the textured gold patterns, made in the 70s, but these are truly divine. These beautiful Harlequin highballs are Mid Century barware glasses by Culver Glassware.

The history of Culver Glassware is shrouded in mystery. The secret process of heat firing 22k Gold to glass, died along with the last known member of the family, that had been involved with the business, on that fateful date now known as 9/11.

Culver was founded in Brooklyn, NY in the late 30s by Irving Rothenberg. In the 1980s glass production was ceased & the company was moved to New Jersey, where pre made blanks were utilized for their patterns.

For the most part, Culver did not begin producing gold embellished glass until the late 50's and much of their pieces made prior to this time, are unsigned, unlabeled and often difficult to identify.

In the early 60s, Culver perfected the (still secret process) of high heat firing, 22k Gold onto their fine glassware, allowing for thick, textured, gold & rhinestone displays, that better handled the test of time. Wealth was abundant in the US, and opulence was equally embraced, with the sleek, Mid Century Modern / Futurist Atomic Age styles, more commonly associated with the time, and business soared.

With the release of the Valencia pattern, popularity exploded & soon Culver was considered THE wedding gift of the "Up and coming", becoming available in the finest department stores. The process of high heat firing 22k Gold onto the glass for permanence, was kept close to the vest by the family & employees.

The facts about identifying Culver glass by mark, in order to indicate date of manufacture, are highly & widely inaccurate. Glass signed in scrolling script was utilized from the 30s to late 70s. In the 80s, block lettering was common, but a more accurate indicator is the addition of INC to the mark (be it block or script) lettering, which is found only on 80s to 90s pieces. Paper labels came into play in the late 80s.

Similar to the cubist, geometric shapes of Ruba Rombic glassware line of the Consolidated Glass Company, the Kopp Glass "Modernistic" line was introduced in 1928 by Nicolas Kopp. Kopp had worked at Consolidated Glass Company, so it's likely that he was familiar with Reuben Haley’s designs for Ruba Rombic. The Kopp "Modernistic" line was evidently introduced to compete with the Ruba Rombic line.

Kopp produced a variety of different vases in several colors, as well as the Art Deco powder box shown in the picture. He also produced some lamp bases. The true red vase is a rare color. Although the "Modernistic" line is very collectable, it is not as popular as Ruba Rombic glass. I still think it looks great!

Hi picked up this piece also at car boot for 50p another bargain looked i found something similar so i think it is vintage art deco bronze/pink depression pressed glass bowl tri footed 1930's am i right or anywhere near lol Thanks Sharon

I found these and thought they were sweet. 4 coffee cups and saucers. The makers mark appears to have 2 elk and numbers eg 10. I have tried to find out the maker but I've not been successful. Hoping someone else may know who made them and from what time. I did try and etch the 2 elk logo with pencil for photo id purposes. Was there any more made... i would assume a missing tea pot.. coffee pot creamer and sugar? Would like to add more... but don't know name of maker or pattern to search for other items. Please help.... and thank you for this amazing resource.

I bought these four tumblers today at the thrift for 99 cents a piece and I am trying to figure out if they are made in Ireland or made some where else they look like lismore pattern. The tops are more rounded than straight up like most of the ones I have been able to find online. Any Waterford experts out there have any thoughts?

Bowl is small(approx. 5" x 3" x2" high on the higher side. Engraved on the bottom are Flygsfors-60 and Coquille. the 60 is 1960. Found this at a local antique mall among some really cheap pieces. This one stood out so I scarfed it for a measely $9.

These wineglasses were passed on to my wife from her mother. We're kind of afraid to use them because they might be antiques and my hands aren't as steady as they used to be.
Can anyone identify the wineglass and offer an opinion whether we should use them or just display them?
Many thanks!

Found these Pair of Bears (Koala Bears maybe). One still retains an original GOLD FOIL label for BELFOR GLASS ( Czechoslovakia ). I looked around the Net and can NOT seem to find another pair like this.

So is this an Import Label? Have this label on a Decanter also. Just wondering

Thanks

Why do certain people posts where items are identified get removed?

You think that info should stay there.....after all this is CW where a group of people come together for the love of their item and for an ID of the items. That is the idea of CW.

So why are ID's getting removed???????????? Is that not the idea of CW??

Hello All,
I bought this bowl at an estate sale and just thought it was very pretty. After all of my internet research, the only thing that I can determine is that is looks like it may be a Fenton piece? There is what I am assuming may be an artist's mark on the bottom of the bowl, but I have been unable to confirm anything regarding year, make, or artist. Can anyone help me?
Thanks!

This piece is another Goodwill acquisition. The lid is painted with silver paint in a floral pattern. Nothing on the bottom section. The glass reminds me of a candy dish I got this summer that was marked Made in Romania, but this has no markings at all. With lid in place, dish stands 4"tall by 6" across. Anyone seen anything like it?

The handles were what caught my eye on these little glass punch cups. Glass diamond pattern on the cups quite deep and nicely done. No hallmarks that I could see. I tried Google, no joy. Can anyone enlighten me as to their origins? Any information greatly appreciated!

LOOKING FOR INFO ON THIS PIECE:
NOT SURE IF IT IS MILK GLASS OR IF ITS HANDPAINTED.. COULD BE A DECAL.. HANDMARKED ON BOTTOM WITH 30.. THE STOPPER DOESNT REALLY MATCH THE BOTTOM..WONDERING WHO MADE IT... WHAT IT IS REALLY FOR... AND PAOSSIBLE DATE IT IS APROX 5 1/2" TALL WITH STOPPER... THANKS IN ADVANCE.

Anchor Hocking made the Old Colony pattern from 1935-1938. It is also called Open Lace and Lace edge.
This bowl is 7" wide from lacey edge to lacey edge and 6" tall to the top of the spire on the lid. Would be most likely be used as a candy dish.
There is also a flower dish version of this with a frog lid ie full of holes for placing flowers.

My mom has told me this is a Nescafé coffee jar, but I have been unsuccessful in identifying it as such via web searches. I have discovered however that the markings on the bottom indicate it was made by Anchor Hocking in Houston, TX. I am trying to identify it as my mother lost the lid and I would like to replace it for her if possible. The jar has sentimental family value to her. Any help is greatly appreciated!

Neat little candle holder, another Goodwill item. About 5" long by 3" across, very heavy lead crystal. Had to wait for the price to come down, but it sat for 3 weeks and nobody bit on it until I came down to .99.

Wall mount Fenton Lavabo 3 piece unit. These were used for either Holy water fonts, or sometimes planters. I found this all taped together at the local goodwill, and I am in the process of restoring it(the valve leaked)

I only use these for special occasions. Not sure what they are called or when they were made. My guess is 1950's-1970's. My husband acquired them when a tenant passed away and these were left behind by family. They have alternating silver shiny metallic and etched lines from top to bottom. The base is red with a silver metallic border. They are approximately 4 to 5 inches tall and hold the perfect amount of dessert after a big dinner. My brother refers to them as carnival glass, and while I know nothing about glassware, I don't think these quite fit the criteria. In any event, dessert always tastes so much better when served up in these cute little glasses.

Got this at an estate sale. Can't find anything on it. Wondering if someone can tell me anything about it? It looks like it has a wing mark on the bottom but not sure. You can kind of see it in the picture. Would appreciate any information.

This unusual design bowl is 8.5" wide and 3" deep, the dish is 11.25" wide, there are no markings that I can find, can anyone give any comments on these? They were handed down from family members, and I understand could date back to the 60s era.

This one is very large at about 16 inches long, and 11.50 inches wide, and 1.25 inches tall. Fully marked on back with what looks like......M33 or maybe M38. Hard to read as that is just where the wear on it is.

Here is MY second piece to Post....and Only the Second type of example of this Canadian Glass on CW. Enjoy!!

Ruffled triangular dish with blazing array of colors. There are some Green and Silver Flecks in it but very hard to see due to the Reflective nature of these pieces. Marked on the proper Gold pigskin backing with the proper SEETUSEE ID and the Pattern Number of M90. (NOTE: you can even see the pores on this pigskin backing for this piece by the way I took the photo). About 8 inches wide, and 2 inches high at the highest point.

Was surprised to see than there are No posts here on CW for SEETUSEE GLASSWARE from Canada. I guess this is the first for CW. Ebay has them on there, but none on here.....So Enjoy!!

Small ruffled bowl of many colors with it stamped mark on the back. It's number is M72. It is about 5.5 inches across, and 1.25 inches tall. Please NOTE: All true Canadian made ( Portage La Prairie, Manitoba, CANADA ) are painted Gold on the back of the Pigskin Backing -- YES, true Pigskin.

I have about 5 pieces here, so check out those posts. No two are truly alike as the colors on the front would always vary.

This is a family set that has been passed to me recently without much clue what it is and who made it. Im pretty sure its crystal. All I know is it was given to my grandfather between 1950-1980 as a trophy. The whisky badge on the front is stamped "Stokes Melb".

Did some info on this milk glass jar and found out it was a run before they had Vicks vapour rub. Would anyone be able to help me out on the date this would be around and also the place it's from? Thanks :)

I bought this beautiful 8-piece sectioned relish platter (?) from ebay with only the description that it belonged to the seller's mother-in-law and she thought it was from the early 1900's. The bottom plate measures 16x11" and I believe it is patterned glass but I can't find anything like it online. I've seen Cape Code "Hamilton" pieces with a similar pattern but no sectioned pieces like this one. If anyone has any information, I'd love to be able to identify this.

I have absolutely no idea about this piece. It's about 6 inches high with lid and at widest point 18inches. The lid as etched leaves and flowers the colours are clear, red and gold, and it is a heavy piece and feels good to the touch. I'm hoping someone out there can help.
Many thanks for looking

I found this vase at an elderly woman's garage sale, she had passed, I know nothing about it, but would love input on what kind of crystal it it, I took picture near papertowls, it is about 12" high and 6" wide at widest part.

This is the last of 8 tip find items for £2.50 !
Cut glass with a silvdr rim hallmarked Birmingham 1900 by G.E.W- (G.E.WALTON & Co) im unsure what it is really so listed it as a vase so any info greatfully recieved :-)

I love these vintage martini glasses. They are one of the first items I bought when I started collecting. I don't have much information about them, so please share if you have anymore information. I'm not sure if they are technically Art Deco, but they are stylish!

The glasses are a bright cherry red, and I believe they are encased glass. I'm guessing they are circa 1940's-1950's and most likely are European made--possibly Bohemian or Czech glass. They are definitely larger than the vintage martini glasses of the 1930's, so I'm assuming they were made later than that time period. When I look at them, I always imagine Jackie O sipping a martini out of them on the deck of a yacht.

They also display great with my tall, Manning Bowman, Art Deco "Diana" cocktail shaker with the red stripes. The shaker is circa 1930's and made out of chrome and red enamel.

Bohemia Crystal, champagne flute, believe this pattern may be discontinued as it is no longer offered on their site. 7" approximately. Characteristics are the fan pattern, faceted knob on the stem, and textured foot. Overall a beautiful glass, catching the light every way it is turned. Bohemia glass, or Bohemian crystal, has been producing glass since before the 14th century and is still one of the leading glass producers today. If anyone has any additional knowledge about this pattern pls feel free to share!

Anyway, think this is an apropos posting for tonight. Happy New Year to all the community here at CW, may we all find the treasures we wish for, health, happiness, prosperity, and that certain little something to make our collections and lives complete!

I hope I have correctly titled my grandmother's Perserve stand. I have attempted to find a similar pattern online, but I know you all are the experts! Can anyone help me with a maker and pattern? I am attempting to label things for my family.

This was found a the tip !! For free so couldnt say no ;-)
After some investigation i think I've found a similar one on the web-
Its listed as a Wrythen Serpentine Stem Glass, Salviati 1880...
the picture of the blue glass version is from the web and is what my red version should look like as some of the red fine bits are missing !
I think its a beautiful glass & love it and have another wrythen glass which is early 19c ...
any more info is much appreciated ;-)
HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL !!!!!

The previous owner had actually turned this into a lamp and I was appalled. This is such a beautiful cut crystal vase. There are no marking (at least that I can find) , so I'm thinking Waterford and the stamp wore off over time. Or possibly old Baccarat before they started using the stamp. Any ideas?

The carnival glass mark kind of resembles an F, I thought maybe Fenton, but I've never seen Fenton mark like that. Its not a scratch either bc its in between the glass. The art glass I have no idea... but there is a marking in every gold tile. The last photo is obviously what the pieces look like.

Look around to see if I could identify the pattern, closest I got was Diamond and Fan? Molded even on the bottom of the cups. No marks. If anyone has any information they can share with me, it would be greatly appreciated!

SOLVED: Thanks to both aghcollect and TallCakes for their help in identifying these cups as part of a punch set made by Thatcher Glass (see comments below).

The daisy and button pattern has been around from the 1880s to present. This one is made by Mosser Glass and is in their current catalog.
It is 9 1/2" wide and 5" high.
It is also called the Queen's Pattern.

These lovely candlesticks are from the pattern #1139 from the Indiana Glass company, c1990. They are also known as Swirl Twist.

Thank you, TallCakes, for coming to the rescue once again!! :)

These are a pair of beautiful unidentified black glass candleholders I've had for a few years now. I found a couple more pairs on the internet just like these and they were unidentified but with the claim of being very old. I'm not sure and I have no idea.

Help!!! I found this in a old building and have no idea what is is. I could not find anything online about it. I posted it on Etsy at one point and never sold it. It looks very old, there is a name imprinted in the third picture, just can't make it out enough to do more research. Any comments or suggestions would be appreciated. Thank You

I would like to know more about this pressed glass bowl and what patteren it is. It appears to be very old. I say that because it once had gold filagree around the rim but is almost worn off and something about the patteren looks different. I bought it in a yard sale for .25 cents hoping it's something grand. And I believe it is. lol!

A friend gave this jar to me 12 yrs ago as a gift after my house fire. It's a genuine Boyds Mason 1/2 gallon jar. It has the pontil and many bubbles. The lid is zinc w/milk glass liner. This jar was made during the short time that Mason & Boyd had merged in 1859.

Most Carnival glass made in Australia was produced between 1924 and about 1930. Australian Crystal Glass Limited was established in Sydney in 1914 making pressed and, until 1917, hand blown glass. The 1920s saw the expansion of the Australian glass industry and the amalgamation of several glass factories. In 1926 Australian Crystal Glass Ltd (also trading as Crystal Glass Limited) joined with the Crown Glass Works, an off-shoot of the Australian Glass Manufacturers Company Ltd, to form I've decided to pinch the Powerhouse Museums description on Crown Carnival glass as its seems the best around. What I will say is two things about these bowls. Australian Carnival glass is the least likely to be fake as it was impossibible for the fakers to re create due to a few design features.

My first bowl is the large nappy bowl with the Kingfisher bird. And the second smaller has a glorious outside pattern. Both have lovely hues of black, blue and rainbow tones. I've not collected Carnival glass but these two caught my eye when a friend offered them for sale.

Carival glass like a lot of other glass has come down in price. These are worth between $100-200 max now. But the money matters not, I'm just glad to have them in my my collection...

Powerhouse Museum
Crown Crystal Glass Pty Ltd., with about 200 Sydney employees and more than 1500 by 1959. Carnival Glass was produced mainly between 1924-1930 in a range of iridescent colours similar to its American counterpart, and many of the items incorporated Australian motifs of kookaburras, kangaroos and emus.

Ken Arnold writes: 'Crystal Glass Company Limited produced most of its carnival glass in the mid to late 1920s. Of their most famous carnival glass patterns, the 'Kingfisher' was registered in 1923, while the 'Kangaroo', the 'Swan', the 'Emu', the 'Kookaburra', the 'Magpie', and the 'Waratah' were registered in 1924. Production of most of these patterns had ceased by 1929

These have been in a box for nearly ten years. I believe they are made by Cambridge circa 1930's. They are decorated with gold flowers, gold rimmed and gold around the base. If anyone can tell me anything, that would be helpful.

A nice lady in our church (I'm the pastor) gave me and my wife a full set of these little glasses (about 6 inches high) ... anyone know what they are, or where they're from? The label reads, "Seords vintage glass 1950's".

What a practical thing! I believe it goes back to Victorian times. I found this knife rest recently and actually used it on my Christmas dinner table. First, everyone made fun of me but when it was clear that it actually helps to keep the tablecloth clean, everyone wanted one. Too bad I had only one! I will keep looking for more.

Can anyone tell me who the maker is of this piece. As far as I can get is that it is Daisy and Dots. The books I have only say many makers, and when looking online I find it either as Fenton or Indiana. It is approx 2" tall and 3" wide, it doesnt have the big flat dots that some seem to have. Thank you for your help.

I bought 6 of these while traveling on business in Europe (Poland) and would like to find another set. I think they are Bohemian but they have no markings that I can find. They are hand painted with raised flowers.

Does anyone recognize the symbol on the base? i don't know much about depression glass. is this valuable, interesting, or just junk? a neighbor found it in a box w/ other things i'll post - all looks like 30s-40s to me. i'm not sure where depression glass is categorized, but i wouldn't call it 'art glass'.

All the years I've had this vase I thought it was tiera from the Indiana glass company. But just this past week I started looking for another like it with no success. Finally I found another and turns out it's made by Imperial Glass Company in Bellaire Ohio.

Color: AMBER GLO
9 1/4" tall
4 1/4" wide at the mouth

The Imperial Glass Company was founded in 1901 by Edward Muhleman, with production beginning in 1904. The handmade glasswares were sold worldwide and were usually made of pressed glass patterns. The factory located at 29th Street was labeled as one of the largest glass factories under one roof. The company's most famous product is their "Candlewick" series, which even has a street named for it in Bellaire.
The company hit rough times in the early 1970s and was close to bankruptcy. Imperial was saved by Lenox and turned to general manufacture, but low demand eventually led to its closure in 1984. The building on Belmont Street was eventually turned into a museum housing many pieces from the company's long run, as well as a history of the company.

Ive collected this type of babycham glass for a few years now!
These were produced for a year in the 70s /80s & are the twist stem version which i have at least 30..
They also did a not so common straight stem version which i have 2 & a bambi in top hat & tails version which i have 1 , prices vary a lot,
u.k antique fairs £35-£50 each for twist stem , i haven't seen any more straight stem ones , & top hat & tails ive only seen 2 others both over £75.
I love their shape (proper champagne glass ) hope you like them too !
Also any other info would be cool :-)

A great find. When I saw these I immediately had to had them because they were so unusual. But a bit hard to identify for sure. From the research I have done, I believe these glasses are 20thc Roemer Hock etched blue glasses with applied prunts, Art Nouveau (1890-1914). I have found them online mostly in green color. Does anyone know anything more about this glass wear? The glasses are in excellent condition. Thanks, Dena

Saw these on the show case wall at Volunteer's and thought they were interesting. There's a very Arts and Craft/Deco element about them that I really like. They stand a little over 5" high and probably hold 8-10 oz . The green glass bowls are a bit different on each one. One is double the thickness of glass (darker color too) compared to the others which are thinner. Definitely hand made. The bases are hollow metal maybe silver plated over copper. The wear is pretty uniform between them so I think they were made to look this way originally. No stamped metal marks, just an odd etched mark on the bottom of one piece. Not sure if there would have been a decanter or claret jug but that's usually the case and pieces become separated. -Mike-

A pretty piece of glass I got at a yard sale this weekend. The top clear part is 3", the gold collar is 1/2", the bottom blue iridescent with gold rim section is 5 1/2" approximately. So 9" altogether. Bud vase? Slender taper candle holder?

I picked this up at a thrift store it is 4 inches high and 4 inches wide. On the inside is the mark near cut which I believe to be before the 1920s. It seems to be to big for a creamer? Any thoughts on this?

This is retro Anchor Hocking Amber glass Ashtray from the 1970's
This is considered a "stacking" ashtray and were made in different sizes.
It is 4 1/2" square and about 1 1/4" deep - made in all the Hocking colors including, clear, blue, green, amethyst, ruby red, and Fire King colors.

As you can see this is ruby red crinkled the date on the brass bass is 1966 and it has a fenton sticker on the glass. I got a email from Fenton stating that this carnival stretch glass that has assembled on top of a lamp base. Now i an wondering what it is worth?

I picked this up at an estate sale, thought it was pretty, it's about 9 inches tall, and base is 4" diameter. I can not see any manufacurers marks, feels heavy like lead crystal. It's an unusual shape, I couldn't find any this exact shape anywhere on internet. Any info is great. Thanks!

Here is another Atterbury 'Hand With Dove' covered dish. It has the 1889 patent date molded inside the lid. It does look like the 'glue' for the 'gem' in the ring has discolored. I've noticed on some of these that the glass gems sometime have facets. However, this one has beads for both the dove's eye and ring setting. So I'm not really sure what may have been original, but think the bead for the eye does look more natural.

I don't know much about Cranberry glass besides it is made by using gold in the process. I stumbled upon these pieces. Picked them up because the work nicely with some other glass I have. Pontil marks on the bottom, but don't know much besides that.

I broke the handle and top on the sugar bowl in the picture and am looking for a replacement. I have also attached a picture of the creamer that goes with it. Any assistance on even understanding the time period would be greatly appreciated. They are both about 4" in height and have a copper color trim.

I think theses are vintage Swanky Swag glasses. I have a set of 4 with red squirrels on them. I tried researching them but only found ones with other animals & patterns. Would like to find out an Era & whatever info on them I can.

This is a very vibrant green glass dish of some sort. Is it a butter dish? Or perhaps for small pastry? It's not very large: base is 7.5" in diameter, and the cover is 5" in diameter - the entire piece stands about 4.25" high.

Is it gold leaf gilding or just gold paint on the flourishes? The glass has a few bubbles and ripples - how was it made? So many questions and no answers! But I liked the colour of the glass a lot and paid only $2 at a yard sale, so whatever it is I feel I can't lose!

Here is a beautiful controlled bubble, Belfor crystal bud vase that I owned for a few days. I acquired this in exchange for helping an elderly neighbor pack up her belongings.
I had placed it on the windowsill to admire the sun shining through it & it got knocked off & fell to the floor.

i feel i have a few things answered from the article but can anyone help with a possible maker or any other insight would be great!? no stamps on it anywhere. the picture that is photo copied is the same article in the picture to the left but from a earlier time with less damage. i have focused in on the wording for reading purposes.

This is an 8" plate made by Imperial Glass from 1297 until some time in the 1930s. The pattern is called Beaded Block. This is yellow thus Vaseline and will glow under UV light.
Sadly I was doing some Christmas shopping but just bought something for myself.

This is an Anchor Hocking Ruby Red glassware sugar bowl in the smooth pattern. These were made from the 1930's to the 1960's. - Picture taken on a lite box as it is a very dark ruby red color. / - circa 1950's - 3 1/2" tall

I found this at a local second hand store, it has the GI mark and the Imperial sticker. As I find glass I catalog it but I can not find it anywhere except for one listing on Ebay and it lists it as Compote Nut/Candy dish with dot pattern. It looks like hobnail to me but not sure if it is a Compote or a Nut/Candy dish. Can anyone help me please.....

I got this drinking glass in a box lot at an auction, and have been trying to figure out who it is. I'm not sure how old the glass is, and there are no markings. Just trying to figure out who it is. I've asked around and had people say Tom Jones, Henry Winkler, and Jeff Barry. Haven't been able to find any definitive answer though, in terms of a similar image or the glass. Might just be a random 1970's guy I guess.

Figured I would see if anyone here recognized it. Any help would be appreciated, even just words I can use to search it. What is this type of drinking glass called?

Samuel Clarke is best known for his art glass commissioned fairy lamps. However, he did commission a cut glass design that he used in several configurations as illustrated in his 1887-88 catalog. He simply called this design "Richly Cut."

The glass is cut and polished from a pressed blank and it has the weight and ring tone of lead crystal. The maker is unknown but I suspect it is British in origin. If anyone has any theories of who may have produced this line of fairy lamps, I would sure like to hear your thoughts.

A Gift from an old neighbor, I dont' know what or where it come from, can someone help me, Its Blue glass with silver colored husklike or paper like decorations on it. decanter, 6 glasses, sugar bowl?? 2 vases
I would appreciate any information.

WOW bought this to give to a friend for Xmas BUT...you know how it goes.
Even my 6 year old grandaughter was enthralled with the beauty of the hand painting.
The stopper is hollow and very light & fragile.Not sure of origin maybe bohemian. This comes from the Russian Lady's estate so could be anywhere.She had travelled the world
I wasn't a big fan of glass until i joined this site a couple of years ago. Now I see the beauty and it calls to me to come home...
Any help identifying appreciated
Thanks
Cheers Rose

This lovely vase just had to come home with me. I have no idea on maker.
But love the art deco lines. I have feeling it may be German.But I can't find it anywhere.Any ideas?It has a litle lip on the inside of each panel that has lines.Would be to high for a frog but maybe that is the mystery for solving
Thanks glass lovers

Made by the L. G Wright Company and I am thinking circa 1950. The Daisy ann Button pattern has been around since the 1880s but this looks a bit later.
Got this for my birthday as I wanted more Vaseline glass for my new curio cabinet and am trying a couple different spots for it.

Saw these two in a thrift store.....yet once more...LOL Both are in excellent condition. The larger one has small glass balls that are attached to the chain inside the bell to make it ring. The larger one has a gentle sound. The smaller one has one single glass ball inside and sounds deeper. I am just guessing but think they are depression glass. I am not great at descriptions as you can tell.

I call it my big green monster cause I cant find anything like it.
Its around 20 inches tall.
Its like looks like a jar that sits in a flower petal with a long stem but its one piece with a lid.
I call it a emerald green its so deep and rich
Very unique

I dont know anything about them , all I know is I love them.
First picture is my rough pontil stretched glass basket
Second picture is a group of glass I have rsn across.
Third pucture all my blown glass beauty's. (Besides the fenton hobnail shoe)
Deep bright Red one was my first.

Hello, My friend likes jadeite and I'm a milkglass girl--I looked through my ample supply of dishes and I believe this is my only piece of jadeite. I'm sure it was under one dollar. If a repro, don't burst my bubble! Thanks for looking! Julie

Would like to know more about these Vaseline Candlesticks. 16" high with a base of 5.50 in. Blown and cut. There are 4 of them. Heavy and not at all green like the photos suggest. A very beautiful yellow. The cut design is supposedly meant to represent a mourning drape dating it to the assassination of Garfield in 1881. Anyone have any information about the maker or factory where these were made. Or any information about them at all.

That's right; only one of these is by McKee Brothers. The other is often misidentified as a Variant of McKee's Masonic; at least in one book on EAPG cake stands. The first 2 images are cut paste to juxtapose the similarities of these patterns. The Masonic pattern is to the left or top in each image. Superior Glass was a marketing subsidiary of United States Glass for a short time. Thus the pedestal of Silicon #1900 is the same pedestal used by USG for their Manhattan pattern; so this is the 'tell'. The Masonic plateau is sometimes found on a metal pedestal as well.

Love these pressed glass plates. Any idea on the age of these? I think they are great. These are a gift from an old relative.

TallCakes just made me see that when you chose Pattern glass it show up as 'early american'. I don't know if this is, more probably european. There is no better category
For pressed glass today so I ddon't know how to post it.

Hi! I had good luck here before so....
I have a set of these Federal Glass bowls that I picked up at an auction. I was going to try to sell them but I really like American made stuff and I'm thinking I may just add them to my own collection. Well, I guess that depends on what I find out about them.
I'm told these are milk glass, though I thought milk glass was, well, milkier. This bowl is 4 15/16" across and 1 5/8" tall. I guess it is an ice cream bowl. I'd really like to find out anything I can about them, esp. the pattern name and, though I don't think they're very old, about when they were produced. Many thanks for any help. Y'all have a fun day!

My dad gave me this the other day and I've been trying to search for what this is. Only thing I got close to is a wine cooler, although this piece does not have an opening to fill it but it does have a spout. Someone please help!

8 High Ball
8 Low Ball
HISTORY OF THE CULVER MARDI GRAS PATTERN: Culver manufactured three different styled "Mardi Gras" patterns through their years of production that began in the 1950s. The oldest pattern, which is also more commonly seen, was adorned with a flat-gold jester and glass-jeweled studs. In the late 50s or early 60s, the intermediate pattern was produced. This hybrid pattern incorporated a textured, embossed gold jester with the glass-jeweled studs. This is the rarest/most desirable of the three and is the pattern I am listing for sale. Finally, in the early 1970s and into the 80s, Culver produced one more pattern. The textured/embossed gold jester remained, but the glass-jeweled studs were replaced with non-studded painted jewels.

Can anyone tell me what this was originally for? Cold cream maybe? I don't think it's very old, the inside of the top appears to be white plastic. There are no marks on it anywhere. I found it at a lawn sale a couple of years ago, and the deco top grabbed my eye. Thanks for any help !!!

Hello I have had these a few years now and thought I would show some of my fav glassware , I'm not sure how old or who made these but they are amazing , I should use them but don't, I think they are like a work of Art

Hello I have these sherry ? Glasses that I think are stunning I think they could be very old and look unused I guess they may have been on display in a cabinet as they show no signs of dust,wondering if anyone has a idea who might have made them and when?
Thank you

A major change in my house as I moved the legal bookcase filled with Matchbox cars out of the dining area and this more appropriate cabinet in. I also moved some other pieces. The result being not only more space for display but also more space to walk around. I shall carefully be pondering which pieces should be going into the case.
I'll take some pictures of the hardware later. Looks like 30s-50s .

I found this little treasure piece in a grungy old antique shop in Dunolly in Victoria Australia. It was covered in dirt and had blotches of red & brown paint all over it. Sadly it also has a big chip in the front. I have researched the Reg No which is 29106 - however cant find anything with this shape. It is a citron colour with the Vaseline edge but as you can see it glows beautifully. If anyone can assist with further information that would be appreciated. Many thanks

This was left to my wife recently by her 97 year old grandmother who lived in West VA 50-70 years ago. It's approx. 6" across and 4" high. Any idea what it is and where to find another to replace it or something like it?
Thank you!

This pitcher includes (6) 8 oz. glasses and 6 glass straws (missing). My uncle was in the WWII and stationed somewhere in Japan. He bought this as a gift for my grandmother. The pictures on the glasses and the pitcher tell a Japanese story (sorry, I don't know how it goes). When my grandmother passed away in 2001, I acquired this pitcher set and a few other items. I would guess this pitcher is at least 69 or 70 yrs old. I have never seen another set like this one and would love to know more of it's history.

This is the cake stand used for my nephews wedding back in the summer; tho' the one used was a non-frosted stem. The cake stand used for the wedding was gifted to the couple. This cake stand is too often listed as "Tree of Life with Hand" which has the same hand stem. This version is simply known as 'Hand Stem' and is available in both frosted and non-frosted stems.

I currently have over 100 pieces in my personal collection. I love green glass under black light!!! It fascinates me to see the uranium glow. I am still searching for unique pieces to add to my collection.

1903-1905 Coca Cola Chewing Gum Jar with Thumbnail Lid. I have watched these for the past year and looked for one without chips or cracks. Was lucky to have found one this week at a very reasonable price at about 1/6 the book value for NM. The history of Coca Cola and it's strange gum relationship is interesting. A great article can be found at the Earlycoke website.

I found this while hunting sea glass. It's a little bit bigger than a half dollar. I have been searching everywhere to figure out where it's from. Any help would be amazing!! The letter up top is B in a circle. I think it's Brockway, but nothing with Gaby comes up. Unless I'm seeing the letters wrong.

My husband bought this set of perfume bottle and atomizer in the mid 90's in a jewelry store. I was made in the Czech Republic. I didn't treat it too well so the rubber part fell off and got lost. I wonder if there is a place where I could find a replacement one.

Grandma passed this down to me. This was from her marriage in 1938. Any ideas what it is? Im not getting rid of it but would like to know more about it. Pattern,manufacturer etc!
Thank you for any help!

I am looking for information about this punch bowl/cake stand. I am needing to purchase another one since this one broke after a party. I can't find anything similar to this. The base of the punch bowl was open and allows for decorated items such as rocks, tuele etc. Please help!!

I wonder if anyone can help me identify the cut glass pattern of this Fostoria 10 inch feather plume double handled bowl? I also have the matching candlesticks that are cut with the same pattern on the base. Thanks!

Hi all,
Hands up, who was surprised to see a yellow pot?
I was.
I got it because of its shade of yellow and had no idea it was uranium glass as well, I'm chuffed to bits :)
About 2" - 3" diameter, yellow lined in white and quite heavy for its size.
It looks like it has a polished rim.
Because of this i initially thought it probably dated to the mid century.
But on closer inspection, and the fact its uranium, makes me think its older, but how old I don't know.
I'd Love to know anything more about it, any opinions are always welcome :)

Thank you.

I added a link on uranium glass below. Just down the page a bit are some yellow beads, a similar yellow to this, described as Annagelb. I wondered if this could be that.
I'd never heard of it before.

Hi all,
Large, 5-6" diameter.
It has a nice soft creamy, green glow in daylight.
I'd love to know more about it if anyone can say.
I'd guess it dates to the Art Nouveau era.
Any opinions are always welcome.

I don't understand this "bowl"??? To me it looks like it should or maybe was the bottom of a lamp shade? But the "crimping looks too even for being done afterward...Why would a fixture for the footing be as this one is?

25, 17 and 21 cm high. A white opaque color cased in a blue crystal. The twoo first on leg and foot in clear crystal. Christer Jarenskog was designer for Ryd in a period. But I don't think he is designer for these vases.

Ryd was in operation 1918 - 1971 and 1972 - 1985. It's a quite unknown glassworks in the south part of Kingdom of Glass. I contacted a person who worked many years at Ryds Glassworks and he said that the production of various models often was ordered by department store chains, and then they sent drawings of how the glass would look like. Therefore, it is often difficult to say who designed the glass from Ryd.

This dish was displayed on eBay for quite some time, but I have never been able to find out anything about it i.e., name of pattern, type of dish.
If anyone knows this dish I would love to hear what it is.
Thanks!

This set was my grandmothers. The small roly poly type glasses and the decanter are diamond cut. I am not sure of the age, but from what I can find of similar items, it is mid 1950's. The glass has some seeding. There are no manufacture or "made in" markings. The decanter is approximately 6" tall, without the stopper.

I found this plate at Goodwill and feel it is something special, but I have spent hours researching it online and cannot find another like it or even a matching center pattern.

I cannot see any kind of signature on it.

It measures 9.5 inches diameter

There are a few air bubbles in it.

If if hold it flat in my hand and flick it, there is a sort of a ring to the tone.

The approximately 1.5 inche clear rim is gently fluted with about 6/8" flutes. The flutes create little slightly bevel-like triangles at the top of the flutes all around the rim.

Then what I will call some kind of "cane" pattern for about 1 1/8 inches

Then there is about a 1/4" depression into the center of the plate

Then what I will call a "Whirling Star" pattern in the bottom center, but it is not like any other Whirling Star or Hobstar pattern I can find.

There is a tiny little star on a button in the very center. The area surrounding the button is beveled, leading into about 3/8" of another design before going into a kind of zigzag cut star that is not really part of the whirling star. It almost looks like it's going in a different direction.

Then we start the whirling star? pattern that has little horizontal bars -- like the Cambridge Glass Wheat Sheaf pattern -- that separate each little bundle in between bigger knife-like cuts. The Wheat Sheafs in a Whirling Star plus the other zigzag star pattern is what I do not see on any other pattern like this. It's a very complicated pattern and it has been driving me nuts.

On the back, there is a round raised beveled foot measuring about 4 3/4" in diameter. The bottom of the foot is very smooth, like it has been ground.

There are four mold marks that extend from the edge down to the edge of the depression. The mold marks correspond exactly with lines on the flutes, so they are hardly visible in the clear area.

There is so much work in this plate, it doesn't seem like it is something run of the mill. Any clues anyone could give me will be greatly appreciated.

The bowl in the first two photos is 13” wide, 6” high, and weighs 5 pounds. I have no information whatever on this one and am starting from svratch. The dark oval on the base is a photographic anomaly, rhe rings in the second photo are light reflections. The glass is perfectly clear.
The second bowl is 12” wide, 3” high and weighs 3 pounds. It is also perfectly clear. I have been told it is called a ‘bishops hat’ by Libbey or American Glass, and dated c.1920, but I have no verification for this. There are no marks of any kind on either bowl,
Any comments, remarks, (boos) greatly appreciated, I’m at ground zero on these. Thanks for looking, Jim

I received this Christening mug for my daughter and thought it was the most beautiful and sentimental thing. The engraving made it very personal. I have only started using it this year as I was afraid to use it and kept it in the box. It is Crystal Eire glass.

You can find sets such as this being sold for next to nothing all over France, mostly in this colour as it was very popular in the thirties. What drew me to this one however was the stopper and the tray......you rarely find the tray.

The glass is very thin and the sides of both glasses and decanter are 'panelled' making photographing them a nightmare, for me at least. There would have been six glasses originally, and of course there are some chips.

There are no marks and I suspect that these were common household items in the thirties, made by many companies. Please correct me if I am wrong.

This belonged to my late aunt, who inherited it from her mother, (my grandmother), it is an impressive piece and I would like to know more about it. All I know it was bought in the late 1920's early 1930's. Has anyone seen one of these before, if so, does anyone have any information.

It is made of glass, ruby red on white, there are areas where the red has either rubbed off. More details:
The Base:

Measures approximately: 7 and 3 quarters inches (19.2cm) and is 10 and a quarter inches (26cm) high (excluding post), the post measures 2 and a quarter inch (6cm). It weighs about 6 kg. The base is decorated with a criss/cross and is a hole in the middle of the base.

The Dish:

There is a hole in the centre which slides over the base post. The diameter of the scalloped dish is 15 and a quarter inches (40cm). There is damage on the dish, which has been historically glued back together and one of the scalloped edging. One piece has broken off and I was thinking of either re-gluing myself with super glue, but also not sure if this is the best option.

The Vase:

There is a recess at the bottom of the vase to allow the base post to rest and finally complete the glass display. The vase has a scalloped edging around the lip, and there is some damage to colouring of the ruby red. It weighs approximately 4kg, and is approximately 13 inches high (31cm).

The underside of it is irregular bubbles, the sides are ribbed and scalloped. I got it at a local auction but sure don't know where it's from. I looked at the Lalique patterns and it doesn't correspond to any that I could find. There is identification on it anywhere.
Thanks for your help.

I've never seen anything like this vase before, which is the reason I picked it up to look. And, since they were practically giving it away I decided to bring it home. The more I look at it the more I like it. hmmmm

So I am asking you folks here what y'all think?

It's 14 3/4' tall
1 3/4" top
3 1/2" bottom

It looks like it has three different colors of glass: clear, green & white on the inside.

I believe this is a vintage pressed bubble sherry glass. I can't find anything quite like it on line and would love to know additional information about this glass. It weights almost 4 ounces and measures 4 3/4" tall with a 2" diameter. There are three visible seams on the stem that run all the way through the base. The bubble part of the glass has one seam hidden in the bubbles. If anyone know anything about this pattern or a potential manufacturer please let me know. Thanks in advance for your assistance.

I picked this one up earlier this year along with a "goblet" I'll be posting soon. Bought an auction lot for a piece of loetz medina and a venini handkerchief vase and got these included as "bonuses" :). I assume it is American, but not 110% sure. Has a really nice glow under blacklight. Sorry, pic doesn't show it well because of white background.

I realize this is not a piece of coin glass! It is called "Rambler". It, like the red cake plate I have is part of the Centennial collection! This was a group of reproductions of old patterns from Fostoria. They were made for only a year or two during the Bicentennial so they can be very hard to find! I have only seen one other Ramble Vase! I'm sure they are out there but still not that common! They are beautiful! The picture does not do them justice!!!

While Olive Green is not that hard to find, there are some pieces that are a little more difficult than others. While I already had some of these I could not resist at $8 a piece! They are beautiful even though not as rare. In perfect shape!

The vase stands approximately 9" tall and 6" wide. In excellent clean condition, with no chips, cracks or repairs. Weighs exactly 4 lbs. Unmarked, no label or embossed.

Came from estate of a US serviceman who was stationed in Germany and the Far East. He and his wife collected extensively and this was one of my purchases. Not sure of maker. Is this early Victorian Era glass, or later Fenton glass.

This covered glass butter dish was purchased at an estate auction and was part of a small lot of eapg. Both the cover and dish have 24 ribs; the glass top has twelve ribs…even the bottom has 24 sunrays. I have looked everywhere to identify it but have not been successful. Anyone have an idea what the pattern might be?

This milk glass nesting dish has a base which measures approx. 4? X 5? (at top) and is about 5? tall with lid. I purchased it at an antique store, in England, 15+ years ago. I have tried to identify it and am wondering if any of you have ever seen this? I have seen the boar's head milk glass dish but not one of the entire boar. Atterbury? Thank you!!!

Inherited this from my dad's collection. It's about 6" in diameter and appears to be part of a multi-piece article. He didn't have any idea what it was. The scuffed ring around the edge makes me think another piece rotated around it or there was a rubber seal that went between this and another piece. The knob area is not curved enough to be an effective handle. The underside has 4 protruding spots that remind me of the base a microwave's turntable sits on.

Carnival glass in my mother`s collection. Includes a `good luck` bowl with horseshoe, a dish with peacocks and grapes, a dish with thistles, and a small dish with sailing boats. I am interested in whether anyone can date these, and or know of the manufacturer.

I found no markings or name on any of the items. Gives off a greenishtint that is real bright under UV light. Would like to know some history are where to begin to search for information. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

I found this piece several years ago. I have been searching for the name of the pattern and the maker. It is a shallow bowl, kind of like a pie dish. The sides on the inner part have two lines paired together, about an inch apart, all the way around. The bottom has large leaves with a very thick overlapping stem. There are also little berry shapes. This dish is an iridescent ice blue color. It does have a small amount of white residue...maybe from being washed in hard water one to many times. It is still so lovely. I am also wondering if it is a piece from the 1920's or the 1960's. Thank you for looking!

This bowl belonged to my mother in law, she had many cut glass pieces. I can't find out any information about it. I like the combination of etched and cut glass. Has anyone seen something like this before? I'd love to know what pattern/maker. Many thanks.

One of my favorites! Very hard to find all 3 pieces! These are not numbered! They were taken by a Fostoria Factory worker before they were numbered! All the pieces sold to the public were numbered! These were never sold to public! These were obtained from the son of a Fostoria Factory Worker!!

I think I was told this pitcher and glasses were sent back to the States by my dad when he was in WW2 Italy, circa 1944. (He had been in Cortina, Florence and Rome.) I've tried to enter them into antique exhibits here in Idaho, only to be told they are not old enough. Can anyone help me out with age and style? Do the the tiered, platform-type base and slightly indented etched? dots suggest art deco or something like that?? Thanks for the help!

This beautiful pitcher has a lot of detail to it but unfortunately, I can't find much information about it. It has a number of tiny bubbles in the glass and free of any nicks or cracks. It's 7.5 inches tall and has a 5.5 inch diameter at the top.
Does this look familiar to anyone?
Thanks for your help.

Picked this up today,its a lovely little piece.
The blue in it is very nice.I don't really have any idea what it is.
The stopper has what looks like a flower on top of it,like a rose pattern.
Hope you all like it :)

I found these in a box at a sale. At first I wasn't sure what I had but once at home I opened the box they were in and noticed they were each individually wrapped. Starting to unwrap, I couldn't help but notice the date on the newspaper was January 11, 1943 and from Flat River, Missouri,
Saint Francois County.
These adorable little shot glasses are approx. 1.75 inches tall. They are cut glass with a flower, stem and leaves on both sides of the glass. On the bottom of the glasses, each glass has its own number. These are numbered from 1-28. Some are duplicated numbers and I do not have a sequence of all numbers. There is no markers Mark that I can see anywhere.
These little beauties also have an optic ribbed sides.

No idea what I have. Do imagine they are pretty old. They don't look like they have been unwrapped since being wrapped up in 1943.

Any help identifying these, the value or perhaps someone that would be interested.

My mother in law had these in her cabinet for at least 30 years, most likely more. I have not been able to find these glasses online. I would like to know what the covering is, is it paint? Lead based? I wanted to use them for thanksgiving, but I am not going to if there is lead in the paint, obviously. Thanks for any help.

Saw this clear non-flint Spooner (thought it was a Goblet) at an estate sale last week and was quite impressed with the finely detailed stem that looks like it's upside down. The pattern is one of 4 petal flowers/berries hanging from flowered vines. The grey etching on the body consists of tiny flowers and ferns and go all around the cup. The rim is scalloped and smooth. It measures 6" tall and has a three mold 3 1/4" diameter base. I thought Central Glass as a possible maker but couldn't find it in my ref.. books. Any ideas? Thanks, RER(BOB)

I found this set of 6 silver plated metal holders with embossed floral designs and handles with glass inserts in a box next to a trash can. The metal holders measure 2 3/4" in diameter at the top x 3 1/8" at the base. From the back of the handle to the front of the holder is 4 1/8" across. The height of the holder is 2 5/8" (3 3/4" including handle).

The glass inserts are about 5 1/2" high. I don't know if they are original to the set but they seem to fit very well. The glass isn't marked but the metal holders are. It looks like M?8MET1COPT. I included a photo of the mark and it was as clear as I could get it with my camera.

I only photographed one of the pieces and haven't polished them yet. I don't know if they were used for hot or cold drinks, nor the type. The closest thing that I could find on line was a podstakannik (Russian), or tea glass holder, though most of those designs are higher in the front of the holder opposite of the handle. I am hoping someone can help me identify the mark as well as how old they may be and the country of origin. As always I thank everyone in advance for their help and knowledge.

I found out by the shape of the candlesticks that this is probably a Fostoria Glass Console Set......but my search for the name of the etching has not been too successful. It is possible that other companies could have done the etch work. The etching on the candlesticks is the same as on the bowl so it is definitely a set and probably by Fostoria. The bowl has three raised bar feet underneath and measures 12" in diameter. The candlesticks measure 3 1/2" tall with a 4 1/2" diameter base. Would anyone recognize the etching/cutting? Thanks, RER(BOB)
Links provided by Tallcakes Solved the problem, Thanks Again!

I've had this goblet for quite some time. It caught my eye because it seemed unique. It stands 6 1/8" tall and and is 3 1/4" wide at the mouth. It has a purple or maybe a plum color to it, and it seems to be a very fine piece.

for BOB; here are pics of my set of Adams & Co. Good Luck / Prayer Rug / Horseshoe / Fern cake stands. Adams introduced this pattern in 1881. The sizes I have are 8", 9", 10" & 11". There are other sizes available; so I'm still looking.

These little salt holders are absolutely cute and made from crystal, but I have no idea what the proper name for them is. My grandmother left them to me when she passed away and I know nothing really about them.

I have no provenance data on this piece. There are a number of shear marks.
The item is 10 1/4" tall and 4 1/4" diameter. It very heavy for its size.
Otherwise I have no information to help with an identification.

Not to be confused with Imperial Candlewick, which came many years later, this is the Candlewick pattern by Ohio Flint Glass from the 1890s. The pattern also is known by the AKAs of 'Banded Raindrop' and also 'Cole'.

Beautiful collection of bar glasses: 11 water glasses; 12 wine glasses; 12 champagne glasses; 6 martini glasses, all matching with a vertical length cut about 1/2" between cuts down to stem with very close vertical cuts... almost a cathedral window style. PLUS 5 cut brandy glasses, not a part of the set. No identification on bottom, but have a baccarat thick glass style to them. My mom has owned these for about 50 years or more. I would love to have them identified if possible.

Some of my best finds. In my quest to get an idea what these river gems started out as, I learned that the manganese they added to glass before WWI would react to the sun's uv rays and eventually turn purple.
These shards are all quite thick and include a perfume bottle, bottle necks with lips, and cobalt shards.

This Japanese crystal bowl was bought in a panic when I realised, two weeks before one Christmas, that I'd left the regular trifle bowl in England. I begrudged paying the price of crystal but absolutely had to have vertical sides.....to display the layers of the trifle!

That said it has survived successive clear outs as I've come to love its shape. It has simple, bold lines, dramatically different from Bohemian or Waterford crystal.

I have no idea of the maker as some years ago I threw out the packaging for all the crystal!!!

This is a milk glass candy pedastool bowl , made in the U.S.A by NAPCO in the 1960s...
This was given to me by a friend who was gonna sling it out but as its white glass it seemed to intrest me a little and when I washed it and put it on the window sill the light shining through it made the pattern stand out beautifully , when I saw U.S.A on the base I thought I'd list it to see if its any good!!
Its roughly 8"h x 6" across and marked on the base -
NAPCO
1185
CLEVELAND
O.U.S.A
Thanks to jewels & tallcakes for the I'd (I love c/w)

I have no idea who, what, where or when on this piece. It measures 6" across and stands 1 3/4" high. In very small letters underneath the silver rim it says sterling. I didn't get a pic of the bottom but there are no marks of any kind on the glass. What the Heck is it?

I like the extravagance of it. It is smooth on top but the underneath of the white part is gritty giving it a textured look. The green rim looks pleated but then it rises and falls in dramatic swoops. It all sits on a base metal pedestal.

It measures 15 cm/6 inches across the top. It may have been for bonbons (only a few) but more likely for visiting cards. It just took my fancy one day!

Abraham Lincoln Presidential Decanter made by Wheaton Glass. Made in the 70s and has original box. The front has a raises profile view of Abe and his birth date and death date. The back has a quote from the Gettysburg Address "Of the people, By the People, for the people shall not perish from the earth". Very beautiful piece. Not to old but I fell in love with this carnival glass decanter. Enjoy :)

These are unique Fostoria whimsies
The Blue Candlesticks were not included in the line for
sale. I have never seen another pair!
The amber lamp is made out of a cigarette urn and is not particularly beautiful but definitely unique!
The cowboy hat with the coins on the rim is pretty neat!
The swung vases are stunning! The Crystal vase
from a crystal urn and the amber vase is made from a candy dish! These were all made at the factory by glass makers! They were never for sale and you definitely do not see them very often! I hope you enjoy seeing them!

Here is something I bet you have not seen! It is a Fostoria Blue Oval Coin Glass Bowl that was flattened out into a platter at the factory! It is my latest whimsy find. There is also a red one in existence and I am actively searching for it! Very unique one of a kind!!!

First pic is a vase I found at a local swap shop a couple of years ago, stands 9' high by 5 1/2" across the top. Dish is 5" high and 4 3/4" across. Both resemble Indiana glass diamond point, but the bases don't look right on either one, and the vase is too heavy(1/4" thick at the top of the rim). They have me stumped. Any ideas?

Hi all,
My second bit of frosted uranium glass :)
Probably once part of a vanity set but a nice size, useful tray in its own right.
A very heavy glass item.
It has a flat base with a star cut out or moulded into it.
The colour is the palest, 'washed out' uranium green glass i have (is this 'vaseline' glass?)
If anyone knows anymore about it that'd be great.

My glass addiction is how I decorate my surroundings...I just love the sun shining through them all day long...I really think I was born vintage and the older I get the more I appreciate it.....My favorites are anything red or blue or green or........

An example of Early American Pattern Glass, this one is in the canary yellow/Vaseline glass color. They made these in various colors. These were made by Adams Glass from 1885-1890. The pattern was then continued by US Glass until 1895. It is a small piece 4" from corner to corner and 1 3/4" tall.
What is interesting about this pattern is that the sides have two different patterns. The opposing sides have the same pattern while the adjacent sides have a second pattern.
Pattern name - Valencia Waffle aka Adams #85, Block and Star, Hexagonal Block.

I would love to understand more about this inherited item. Picture shown with teaspoon for scale. It seems to be an antique cut glass (no pressed seam and quite sharp points to the cut areas) bowl or stand of some sort. The inside is bowl-shaped rather than flat. It could actually stand on either end to have large base and small bowl or small base with large bowl. The real mystery for me is why is the central stem completely open? It would not hold liquid and does not seem to have an indent where a separate dish would sit inside for brandy or anything. The hole in the centre goes all the way through and is about the size of an egg. Can you help me with any information about what it is please? Thanks in hopes!

Got a set of 5 etched green glasses from my great aunt so estimate they're from the 60's/70's? One is Chinese design and 5 1/2 inches tall and 5 are Greek design and 5 1/4 inches tall. No markings on the bottom. Who makes them and what would be the date of them? Any ideas?

Found this lovely crystal ice bucket in Sydney, very heavy with chrome handle. As there isn't any label/sticker, I am unable to tell what its make is, maybe Kosta Boda, maybe not? In any case, I still love it.

I'm posting for a friend, we are trying to find out information on this set. A set of six small bowls with saucers and a large bowl. The small dimples in the bottom of the bowls fit perfectly into the saucers. This piece is in the UK.

James O'Hara and Isaac Craig opened Pittsburgh's first glass factory in 1797. They pioneered the glass industry in the area. The plant was located on the South Side, near where the Duquesne Incline parking lot at Station Square is today. Later they became O'Hara Glass Company, Ltd. of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

I only have a very few of the O'Hara Diamond pattern, my other post is the Butter Dish. It seems to be getting harder to find and more expensive.

Unfortunately none of the Glass experts have been able to find who made this pattern. There have been a few maybe's but nothing substantial. I think it is a very pretty pattern. I apologize for the bad pictures where you cannot see the pattern very well.

This divided platter was designed by Pavel Panek and made at the Czech factory Rudolfova. He designed the essential shape but the factory had moulds made with different relief textures on the base. These relief patterns also appeared on ranges of tableware.

This design is called Vine, in clear glass with added 'lustre' colouring. The platter was also made in green glass with a pattern called 'Juta' (jute),which looked like hessian. Finally I've also seen it in blue glass with a texture that looked like brickwork. There may well have been more.

It was made by ring less pressing, hence the irregular rim. He also experimented with centrifugal casting.

My first fireking bowl -tulip. Collecting is fun ;) I purchased it on ebay, little pricy. Plan on checking out garage sales and/or estate sales next. I have a few fireking bowls from my mother -this is what started me out. My mother used them to cook! On the other hand, I display. Wanted to share...

This bowl was designed by Pavel Panek and made at the Czech factory, Libochovice. It has astonishing sparkle for a pressed glass item. The reason for this lies in the design itself and the quality of the mould. The combination of radial ridges and small random lumps catches the light to create the sparkle. The inside surface is very glossy.

Found this cool cookie jar at a antique store today. The lady said it was a 70s piece. Its made by Bartlett Collins co. It's marigold carnival glass. Not quite old or antique but definitely a pretty cookie jar! Enjoy :)

I've called these open salts because I can't imagine what else they could be. If you know better I'd love to know too. The rim is stamped EPNS and like the glass is in excellent condition.

The scene is the same as on the biscuit barrel I posted recently. Though these two scenes have the same elements they have marked differences. From this I assume a team of 'decorators' hand painted the scene, copying a template.

Walking through a thrift store today (glad I have only 3 days a week off) I noticed this ashtray is a display case. The weight is incredible, very heavy. It is 6" in width and 2" high. Glass is very thick...no chips or marks on it.

I recently acquired my mother red glass collection. I am not sure if this is Fenton or another glass maker. It does have a capital M or could be W on the bottom. What do you call this piece of glass work???? Candy Dish

Hi,
This is my first piece of frosted uranium glass & very nice it is too.
It gives a lovely soft glow in daylight (my photos don't do it justice, I must get some better ones) & has a soft textured feel.
Once part of a larger dressing table set.
I love its Art Deco design & the minime tray, is sooo cute.

Hi, this is another of my mystery pieces. The pitcher is 8 1/2" h, and the tumblers, 3 5/8" h. The pontil is inset and polished and the rim rounded, not flat. It was likely bought at an antique store or auction in North America. Thanks in advance for any help.

I took these within the China Cabinet. I can remove one at a time for Photos with better lighting, but if I do I have to be VERY CAREFUL for if I broke anything I would reside in the proverbial DOGHOUSE for a while !! (:-() )

These four drinking glass were made circa 1982 by Indiana Glass. They were based on the Madrid Pattern made by Federal Glass in the 1930s although federal never made a piece like this. These are larger than the tumblers seen from the 1930s at 6 1/4" tall. Also they are heavy for their size.
Anyway I saw this same sort of glass for $35 each at one antique mall and then saw these for $9 each at another so I bought four. Looks like I made on OK buy. They di have a great pattern even though they are not actual depression glass.
Yes I posted one picture sideways because it fits the screen better.

I bought this some 30 years ago (yard sale) along with some Wang Hing silver, and always suspected a North American origin. Sid Lethbridge, President of Glasfax ( Canadian glass research group )has just confirmed my suspicion that it came from Wallaceburg, Ontario the site of Sydenham Glass. The museum website shows a couple with the same form but definitely mine is the most colorful!

This milk glass vase has been hand painted and was most likely meant for the French speaking market of Canada. It is marked in French with what I believe to translate "Imported from Czechoslovakia". I would date the vase to the middle of the last century; possibly the 1960's? I don't think this kind was popular later than that.

The vase is in very good vintage condition with no cracks and only a miniscule chip at the rim. The chip is not visible but if you run your finger around the rim you can feel it. The gilded rim shows a bit of wear as well, but for a vase that has been loved for a few decades it's in pretty good shape.

I had got these pieces at a auction loved the color but not sure what color it really is looks little blue inside but clear outside? Needing help with name of glass and the maker? There is a white fog like on the top of the rim thanks

Again, I bought at auction yesterday. Two people offered
me money for it and 4 said I got the deal if the century.
no one told me maker though. So if anyone knows anything about this beautiful vase, I'd sure like to know.
Thx

Hello All
I inherited these lovely champagne glasses from my Grandfather.
An appraiser told me they were Fostoria "Rose" pattern, circa 1950.

I looked up that pattern, and actually, many other Rose pattern etched glasses. They are not Fostoria. The heavy etching on the bowl and the lovely rose stem etched down the glass stem to the base is unique to anything I have found.
Would anyone out there happen to know what period these glasses are from?
The cabinet held many pieces of APB cut glass with etching, but nothing like these.
With hope someone knows,
Thank you
Cathy

Amber glass bowl 260mm wide 80mm high, has three children type fiqures as supports, no marks, picked it up at a market only providence was it was purchased by the seller from a german gentelman. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

I was told this was a c.1960 West Germany cut glass bowl.
It was part of my Grandmother's (late 19th early 20th Century) China Cabinet. There are 4 other ABP pieces in the cabinet. Everything I've looked at on the internet describes this bowl as such.
I need to know for one of those "who-gets-what" situations for our Mother's Estate.
Base is 10" diameter. About 7" high. Top opening 9".
Anybody know if it is indeed APB and about what period it is?

Hi, this is an old pressed glass creamer with an applied handle. I have searched high and low to try to identify this, and am hoping that someone can help point me in the right direction. It is 4 1/8" h. and the base has seven sides. It is very heavy and weighs 1 lb. 3.3 oz. (546 g). I have put this in these categories for lack of a Flint glass or Unknown glass category. Thanks in advance for any help.

I have 2 of these coffee cups. The glass is Duralex, France and the stainless steel handle is marked '18/8 stainless steel made in Belgium' and 'BAES F res MENAGIA''. I can't find any info on this really cool set. Is the maker Baes? How old are they?

Hoping to see if anyone can identify this pattern. Measure about 4 1/2" high and is 11" wide. This piece has been in my family for many years. It was my grandmothers and she has been departed for at least 40 years. It has been tucked away and now I am curious about it. Would appreciate any info.

Stopped by an antique store that was going out of the business and I was offered all this depression glass for $20 (plus tax). So I bought it.
The large stack on the right is French glass from the 1980s, not worth much. The rest is mostly the Madrid pattern by Federal Glass. There are reproductions of this pattern but all the ones I checked were 1930s. There is also large amber bowl in the Sharon pattern by Federal.
The blue footed bowl is my first piece of blue depression glass. Now I just need to figure out where to put it.

I bought these great Frigidaire advertising glasses for $2 today! Great condition and I just love the images. Havn't found anything about the date online yet, though I'm guessing early 60's? Anyone know anything about these glasses?

Just so you don't get to thinkin' that colored glass collections is a fairly new thing; this collection of colors was made by Central Glass Co. in the 1880s. I have a set of three different sizes of the sapphire blue stands. The large crystal stand is almost 13" diameter; these large bakers' stands are getting harder to find these days and I have a blue on of this size too.

Here's another collection of various colors in the same pattern. This is the Constellation pattern by Indiana Glass that was first introduced in 1940s. The teal was part of the line that was made for Tiara; the in-home-sales subsidiary of Indiana Glass. I have a couple more of this pattern; so this is grouping is representative of the colors in my collection.

This 71/2" bowl ? was found in a local thrift store...my home away from home. It's in great shape, seems to have a lot of weight at the base of it. I had just washed it, that's the little spots you see...Does anyone know if it's an older piece or new????

Wow I was happy to find this piece yet again in a second hand store. It had a large flower arrangement in it that covered mos of the dish. What attracted me was the blue glass base I saw. Then when I picked it up surprise...it is in great condition no chips or cracks. I just think it's beautiful.

These wonderful Mid-Century tumblers have the old Anchor Hocking logo. The design is signed by an unknown artist. The pattern and colors remind me of how my mother decorated the kitchen with the earthtones that were popular back then.

I always thought this should be used for maple syrup, but do not know for sure. I think the top may be pewter.
Stamped inside top:
Pat.Jan2984
Above that looks like it is OK or UK
Any information available or suggestions where I can search about it would be helpful

These beautiful glass pieces are crystal, they appear to have the same patterns so I'm wondering if indeed they are all from the same maker? Does anyone know what the name of the maker is & what type of cut is this?

Hello, I have been cleaning out a 97 year old's home (she's being evicted)
These crystal glass pieces are so beautiful & I'm pretty sure they all belong together but not positive. Can anyone tell me what the maker is & the cut?

These were made by Westmoreland Glass somewhere between 1941 and 1981. That is based on net research so go figure. It goes with the Colgate Octagon soap. An all purpose lye soap I believe.
Note that it looks like a washboard. Also available in clear or red, possibly other colors.
Another Rose Bowl find.
If it is green it is not Vaseline.
If it is yellow one is a happy fellow.
If it has that glow then you know.

Thought I would post some Canadian CORN FLOWER pattern pieces our family had. Very Popular here in Canada. Corn Flower is 2 words, not one word for this maker. From what I read -- eight companies were all major players in the American elegant glass field and had the Corn Flower Design put on their Glasswares. They were: Fostoria, Heisey, Imperial, Lancaster, New Martinsville, Paden City, Tiffin Glass, and West Virginia Specialty Glass company.

For Some Great reading, history, info and pictures below in the link. Thanks, Hope you enjoy!!

My mother's grandmother gave this to my mom before she died. I have never seen anything like this before. I love the detail, but I'm curios as to what those strange little symbols are for. The bottom of the plate has a basket weave design and there is a seam which makes me believe it's just carnival glass. I don't know if you can tell from the pics, but it's iridescent. If anyone can tell me about this plate it would be greatly appreciated

Gregory Duncan designed glass for West Virginia Glass, I believe in the 1940s and 50s.

I have not been very successful in finding out much about this artist as of yet, but I just started researching him.

These are beautifully derived and extremely unique. The Gold leaf is extremely thick, unusually shiny like Gold compared to similar items I collect and the Purple thistle head has a wonderful density to it as well.

If anyone has further info on these beautiful drinking tumblers, please let me know. I will post more about them the more I learn about them

6 1/4" tall scalloped sawtooth fluted wine glass ? vase ? heavy glass
gold trimmed fleur de lis and rim
pineapple and fan with small thumb print on glass
foot has pineapple and fan see pix
stem 6 sided
This was in my dad's closed antique shop in south NJ
not sure where he got it.. only have one
would appreciate any info...
I'm stumped..maybe French?

My husband and I just bought an old house in which the owner left a lot of stuff! This vase? is in there and we thought it was very pretty. It is frosted glass with the Norleans sticker on the bottom. Does anyone know what it is? I have tried to rotate the photos, but have had no luck. They are correct on my computer.

It may look like Culver, even resembles Culvers Prado pattern, but these divine glasses & barware are from West Virginia Glass.

The Henry VII pattern, is made up of vivid pebbled enamel windows in Red, Yellow, Blue & Green, framed by thick textured Gold leaf & a prancing lion, family crest / shield / emblems, in blocks that give the feeling of a castle and "Old World Europe".

Whatever the process they used to fire the Gold onto the glass, it seems to far out last similar Culver pieces, being that I have yet to find a piece that was not practically pristine. Albeit, they are very rare and difficult to find.

The barware sets tend to come in only Green, being that all of the pitchers, ice buckets and martini shakers I have found are Green.

Truly a beautiful pattern from a less known glass company, that is quite difficult to find much of anything about.

I have little to go on with these glasses. I'm quite versed in Culver Glass and believe this to very likely be their product, from the 1960s. My guess is based upon the unusual "bluing" on the back of the Gold leaf, which I have only seen on Culver glasses circa 1962 to 1968, the flat matte & shiny style of Culvers earlier Mardi Gras glasses & of course, the glass jewels, found on Culvers Christmas Tree, Peacock and Mardi Gras barware (I have seen a couple of other examples with jewels from Culver, but were unable to obtain them.)

These 5.6 inch tall 2.6 inch wide glasses, are made up of a Gold leaf, chain like band around the lip, with whimsical streamers falling diagonally to various items such as a Butterfly, Turtle, Sun, Dancing Female Figure, what appears to be a Doughnut, Moon, Heart. The symbols and patterns, remind me of a Rebus or Pictogram, but if that is the case... I'm not solving it.

Regardless, they are EXTREMELY rare, unique, beautiful and super fun!

The history of Culver Glassware is shrouded in mystery. The secret process of heat firing 22k Gold to glass, died along with the last known member of the family, that had been involved with the business, on that fateful date now known as 9/11.

Culver was founded in Brooklyn, NY in the late 30s by Irving Rothenberg. In the 1980s glass production was ceased & the company was moved to New Jersey, where pre made blanks were utilized for their patterns.

For the most part, Culver did not begin producing gold embellished glass until the late 50's and much of their pieces made prior to this time, are unsigned, unlabeled and often difficult to identify.

In the early 60s, Culver perfected the (still secret process) of high heat firing, 22k Gold onto their fine glassware, allowing for thick, textured, gold & rhinestone displays, that better handled the test of time. Wealth was abundant in the US, and opulence was equally embraced, with the sleek, Mid Century Modern / Futurist Atomic Age styles, more commonly associated with the time, and business soared.

With the release of the Valencia pattern, popularity exploded & soon Culver was considered THE wedding gift of the "Up and coming", becoming available in the finest department stores. The process of high heat firing 22k Gold onto the glass for permanence, was kept close to the vest by the family & employees.

The facts about identifying Culver glass by mark, in order to indicate date of manufacture, are highly & widely inaccurate. Glass signed in scrolling script was utilized from the 30s to late 70s. In the 80s, block lettering was common, but a more accurate indicator is the addition of INC to the mark (be it block or script) lettering, which is found only on 80s to 90s pieces. Paper labels came into play in the late 80s.

I collect & sell vintage and antique barware and like to share certain special pieces when I have the opportunity.
